Case Study
'Global Logistics Corp' (GLC) manages a fleet of 5,000 delivery vans that operate across North America. They are facing challenges with rising fuel costs, inefficient routing, and an inability to provide customers with real-time delivery status. They currently have no technology in their vehicles beyond the drivers' personal cell phones.
GLC's IT Director wants to deploy a solution that provides GPS tracking, cellular connectivity for a new electronic proof-of-delivery application, and Wi-Fi for in-cab devices. The solution must be centrally manageable, quick to deploy, and rugged enough to withstand constant vehicle vibration and temperature fluctuations. The director is also concerned about securing the data transmitted from the vehicles.
Which Cisco solution should the account manager propose to meet all of GLC's requirements for their extended enterprise fleet?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
This is the correct solution. The IR1101 is a compact, ruggedized router designed for mobile applications. It provides GPS, multi-carrier cellular LTE, and Wi-Fi. The IoT Operations Dashboard offers the scalable, centralized, zero-touch management required for a large fleet, and the solution includes robust security features.

The convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks is a key aspect of many IoT deployments. From an account manager's perspective, what is the most significant challenge this convergence presents to customers?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The biggest challenge is often cultural. IT teams prioritize security, data confidentiality, and integrity (the CIA triad). OT teams prioritize safety, availability, and uptime. These conflicting priorities can lead to friction over security policies, maintenance windows, and network design, which is a major hurdle to successful convergence.

A manufacturing client wants to deploy a solution that discovers all assets on their industrial network, identifies communication patterns, and detects security vulnerabilities or anomalous behavior specific to OT protocols. Which Cisco IoT security product should be proposed?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Cisco Cyber Vision is specifically designed for OT security. It provides deep packet inspection of industrial protocols to give complete visibility into the industrial network. It automatically discovers assets, maps communication flows, and uses behavioral analysis to detect threats and vulnerabilities unique to the OT environment.
