Your question is Threat Modeling for IoT Devices. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain how you would approach threat modeling for a new smart-home IoT device prior to its manufacturing phase. What steps would you take to identify potential security vulnerabilities? What factors would influence your assessment of risks?
