What is a potential risk when using IoT environments with SSL Inspection?

In IoT environments utilizing SSL Inspection, certificate pinning presents a notable risk. Certificate pinning is a security mechanism where an application is configured to only accept a specific certificate for a given server, enhancing security by preventing man-in-the-middle attacks. However, when SSL inspection is enabled, intermediary devices or services must present their certificates to intercept and analyze traffic. This can lead to complications when IoT devices are programmed to accept only their designated certificates.

If the SSL inspection process requires dynamically changing the certificates, the IoT device may fail to establish a secure connection, assuming that the inspecting entity is malicious. This misalignment can cause various operational issues, as these devices might refuse to communicate or function improperly, leading to disruptions in service and operational challenges within the IoT ecosystem.

The other options present potential concerns but do not encapsulate the unique challenge posed by certificate pinning in the context of SSL Inspection. Increased bandwidth usage can be a result of inspecting SSL traffic but is not exclusive to IoT environments. Static IP requirements are often related to device networking preferences rather than direct risks from SSL Inspection. Lastly, while the implementation cost may rise due to the complexity of managing SSL Inspection, it's not a specific threat to the operational integrity of IoT devices, making
