An organization is planning to deploy a new wireless network. They have a mix of devices: some support WPA3, some only support WPA2, and a few legacy devices only support WEP. The organization has a strict security policy that prohibits the use of WEP. Which approach best balances security and compatibility?

Deploy WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode and replace or upgrade the legacy WEP-only devices

Deploy WPA2 with TKIP to support legacy devices

Deploy WPA3-only and disable all legacy devices

Deploy WPA2-only and allow WEP devices to connect using a separate guest network

Which practice helps mitigate the risk of deauthentication attacks?

Implementing 802.11w (Management Frame Protection)

Disabling DHCP on the access point

A security analyst is investigating a wireless network that uses WEP. The analyst captures packets and notices that many packets have the same initialization vector (IV). Which attack is the analyst most likely able to perform?

Downgrade attack to force WEP usage

KRACK attack to decrypt WPA2 traffic

PMKID attack to recover the WPA2 passphrase

IV reuse attack to recover the WEP key
