A new network administrator is setting up a wireless network for a small office. The administrator wants to ensure that only authorized employees can access the network and that the network is protected from common attacks. Which combination of actions is the most effective?

Enable WPA2-PSK with a strong passphrase and change the default admin credentials on the access point

Set the router to use WPA3 and disable the firewall

Enable MAC address filtering and use WEP

Change the default SSID and disable SSID broadcasting

A security administrator is responsible for a fleet of Bluetooth-enabled medical devices in a hospital. The devices transmit patient data and must remain operational 24/7. The administrator needs to mitigate Bluetooth attacks such as bluesnarfing and bluebugging without disrupting device functionality. Which approach best balances security and availability?

Set all devices to discoverable mode for easy maintenance

Use a single shared PIN for all devices to simplify pairing

Disable Bluetooth on devices when not in use and implement a strict pairing policy

Disable Bluetooth pairing entirely and rely on the device's default settings

A company provides Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanners to warehouse staff. The scanners are used only during shifts and are stored in a charging dock overnight. The IT team wants to reduce the risk of Bluetooth attacks without affecting daytime operations. Which measure is the most effective and least disruptive?

Disable Bluetooth on the scanners when they are not in use.

Place the scanners in a Faraday bag overnight.

Use WPA2 encryption on the Bluetooth connection.

Set the scanners to non-discoverable mode permanently.

A mobile device user notices that their phone's Bluetooth is enabled and the device is in discoverable mode. The user is concerned about a potential attack where an attacker could access the phone's contacts and calendar without pairing. Which Bluetooth attack vector is the user most at risk of, and what is the immediate action to mitigate it?

Bluesnarfing; disable Bluetooth and set the device to non-discoverable mode

Bluebugging; update the device's operating system

Bluejacking; change the Bluetooth PIN

Bluephishing; enable Bluetooth encryption

A company is deploying a wireless network in a warehouse. The network must support legacy barcode scanners that only support WPA2 and WEP. The security team wants to protect against packet sniffing and unauthorized access. The warehouse manager is concerned about the cost of upgrading the scanners. What is the best approach?

Upgrade all scanners to support WPA3

Use WPA2 with AES and segment the warehouse network from the corporate network

Use an open network and implement a VPN for all traffic

Use WEP with a 128-bit key and rely on MAC address filtering
