A company is planning to deploy a wireless network in a high-security facility. They require strong encryption, mutual authentication, and the ability to revoke a single user's access without affecting others. Which solution best meets these requirements?

WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X and a RADIUS server

WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase

A security analyst notices that a legitimate user's wireless connection drops every few minutes and then reconnects. The analyst captures traffic and sees a continuous stream of deauthentication frames from a MAC address that is not the access point. Which attack is occurring, and what is the most effective countermeasure?

Jamming attack; move the AP to a different channel

Evil twin attack; change the Wi-Fi password

Deauthentication attack; use a WIPS to detect and block the attacker's MAC address

Rogue AP attack; disable SSID broadcast
