Selected Answer: C
C. Conduct a vulnerability assessment specifically for the IoT devices. Before implementing any security measures, the first step should always be to identify existing vulnerabilities. A vulnerability assessment will: - Identify weaknesses in the IoT devices (e.g., outdated firmware, weak authentication, open ports). - Help prioritize security fixes based on risk levels. - Provide a clear security baseline before making further security improvements.
