What is the purpose of input validation in a web application?

To ensure that user-supplied data meets expected formats and constraints

To compress user data to save storage space

To log all user actions for auditing purposes

To encrypt user data before storing it in the database

What is the primary purpose of hiding the SSID of a wireless network?

To prevent all unauthorized access to the network

To prevent casual users from discovering the network

To encrypt all data transmitted over the network

To increase the signal strength of the wireless access point

A company is deploying a new wireless network in a large office building. The security team wants to implement WPA3-Enterprise. However, the building has many legacy IoT devices (e.g., smart locks, sensors) that only support WPA2. The administrator needs to ensure these devices can connect securely while maintaining a high level of security for the rest of the network. Which of the following is the MOST secure and practical approach?

Disable the IoT devices' wireless capability and connect them via Ethernet.

Upgrade all IoT devices to models that support WPA3.

Deploy a single network using WPA2-PSK for all devices, including the IoT devices.

Create a separate SSID for the IoT devices using WPA2-PSK and place them on an isolated VLAN.

Which of the following is an example of a sandboxing technique?

Running a suspicious executable in a virtual machine

Granting the executable full administrative privileges

Installing the executable directly on the production server

Disabling the firewall to allow the executable to run
