An enterprise has decided to invest in Internet of Things (IoT) technology as part of its strategic plan. Which of the following presents the GREATEST risk to consider as part of the technical risk ma

IoT devices often have limited processing power, memory, and update mechanisms, making them susceptible to various security vulnerabilities like weak authentication, unpatched firmware, and insecure network services. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to gain unauthorized access, compromise data, or launch broader network attacks, making them the most critical technical risk.

Technology integration is a significant implementation challenge but primarily affects project delivery and functionality, not the fundamental security posture of the deployed devices themselves.

Device performance relates to the efficiency and responsiveness of the IoT devices; while important for operations, it is not typically considered the *greatest* technical risk compared to security breaches.

Technology obsolescence is a long-term strategic concern regarding investment longevity, but immediate technical risk is more focused on current operational threats rather than future replacement cycles.
