   A manufacturing company wants to monitor IoT traffic across multiple plants. Each plant has its own access layer and distribution layer, and all plants connect to a central data center. The security team wants a single place to monitor all IoT traffic, but they are concerned about missing traffic that stays within a plant. Which placement strategy addresses this concern?

   • APlace sensors only on the IoT gateways within each plant.
   • BPlace sensors at the edge of each plant's access layer, in addition to the core.
   • CPlace sensors inline on the WAN links between plants and the data center.
   • DPlace sensors only in the core network at the central data center.

   A logistics company is deploying IoT sensors to track containers in a warehouse. The network team wants to ensure that the sensor does not become a single point of failure for the warehouse network. They also need to see all traffic between IoT devices and the warehouse management system. Which placement approach should they choose?

   • ADeploy the sensor in the core network of the data center.
   • BDeploy the sensor inline on the link between the warehouse switch and the management system.
   • CDeploy the sensor on the IoT gateway that aggregates warehouse traffic.
   • DDeploy the sensor passively on the same link.
