A university wants to provide Wi-Fi to students and faculty using their existing Active Directory credentials, while also offering a separate open guest network for visitors. Which authentication method should be used for the student/faculty network?

WPA2-Personal with a shared passphrase distributed at orientation.

WPA2-Enterprise with RADIUS authentication against Active Directory.

Open authentication with a captive portal that asks for a student ID number.

WPA3-SAE with a unique passphrase for each student.

A hospital is deploying Wi-Fi for patient monitoring devices that stream continuous telemetry. The devices are stationary and do not support WPA3. The network team must ensure reliable connectivity and prevent unauthorized access. Which approach best balances security and reliability?

Use WEP with MAC filtering because the devices are stationary

Use WPA2-Personal with a long passphrase and disable SSID broadcast

Use an open network with a captive portal for initial authentication

Use WPA2-Enterprise with per-device certificates and perform a site survey to optimize AP placement

A company's security team suspects that an unauthorized access point has been connected to the wired network. They want to detect and automatically mitigate this threat. Which solution should they deploy?

Disable SSID broadcast on all authorized APs

Network access control (NAC) with 802.1X on wired ports

Periodic manual site surveys with a spectrum analyzer

Wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS)
