An enterprise is adding IoT devices to its network. The security team wants to ensure these devices do not compromise the rest of the network. What is the most important step?

Disable all unnecessary features on the devices

Install antivirus software on all devices

Ensure all devices have strong passwords

Segment the IoT devices onto a separate network

An enterprise is deploying IoT devices that require internet access for updates, but the security team wants to minimize the attack surface. What is the best approach?

Use a VPN for all device traffic

Connect the devices directly to the internet without any firewall

Block all internet access to the devices

Place the devices in a DMZ and allow only outbound traffic to the update server

Which attribute is typical of an IoT endpoint such as a temperature sensor in a factory?

It is designed to be easily upgraded by the end user

It has a large storage capacity for local data retention

It runs a full operating system with a graphical user interface

It has a specialized function and communicates over a network

A company is deploying IoT sensors that run on batteries and have very limited processing power. They use a low-power wireless protocol to send small amounts of data. What is a key characteristic of these endpoints?

They have limited resources and are optimized for a specific task

They require constant high-bandwidth connectivity

They can run full operating systems

They are easily upgradeable with new hardware
