Certified Data Management Professional – Fundamentals (CDMP) — Question 57

IoT devices have introduced new vulnerabilities by:

Answer options

• A. Using standard network connections without the sophisticated security provided by more powerful network devices
• B. Using standard network connections and overwhelming the network with the volume of data
• C. Using non-standard network connections which means that less attackers understand the technology
• D. Using non-standard network connections which are not managed to the same level of quality
• E. Using global network connection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because IoT devices often use standard network connections that lack the robust security measures found in more advanced network devices, making them more vulnerable to attacks. Options B, C, D, and E do not accurately reflect the primary issue related to IoT vulnerabilities, as they either misrepresent the nature of the connections or the type of security risks involved.
