A university is deploying a new wireless network for faculty and staff. The security team requires that each user authenticate with their existing university credentials, and that the authentication process use a method that does not require client-side certificates on every laptop. The network must also support a wide range of operating systems without requiring users to manually install a certificate authority. Which authentication configuration meets these requirements?

WPA2-Enterprise with EAP-TLS, requiring each user to install a client certificate issued by the university CA.

WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP-MSCHAPv2, where the server presents a certificate and users authenticate with their AD username and password.

WPA2-PSK with a shared passphrase distributed to all faculty and staff.

WPA3-SAE with a unique passphrase generated for each user and stored in a password manager.

A company is deploying a wireless network for a new office. The security team has a requirement to use WPA3-Enterprise, but the existing RADIUS server only supports EAP-PEAP-MSCHAPv2. The team is considering upgrading the RADIUS server to support EAP-TLS. Which factor is most important to consider when deciding between upgrading the RADIUS server or keeping PEAP-MSCHAPv2?

The cost of upgrading the RADIUS server software.

The compatibility of the access points with WPA3-Enterprise.

The need to deploy client certificates to all devices if EAP-TLS is chosen.

The speed of the internet connection at the office.
