What is a recommended practice to secure Bluetooth pairing against unauthorized access?

Always use the default PIN provided by the manufacturer

Use a long, random PIN or passkey

Pair only in public places to avoid interference

Disable authentication during pairing

A company is setting up a wireless network for a temporary event. The network will be used by attendees and must be easy to connect to, but the security team wants to prevent unauthorized access to the corporate network. The event network will be isolated from the corporate network. Which encryption protocol should be used for the event network?

Open network with no encryption

WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase

A network administrator is investigating a security incident where an attacker set up a wireless access point with the same SSID as the company's legitimate network but with no encryption. The attacker's goal was to capture credentials from users who connected to the fake AP. Which attack was used, and what is the most effective defense?

Evil twin; implement WPA3-Enterprise with certificate-based authentication

Packet sniffing; use WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase

Rogue access point; disable SSID broadcast on the legitimate network

Bluejacking; disable Bluetooth on all devices

A company is upgrading its wireless network to support the latest security standards. The IT manager wants to ensure that the network is protected against offline dictionary attacks on the passphrase. Which encryption protocol should the manager choose?

WPA3 with SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals)

A university is upgrading its campus wireless network. The network must support a mix of modern laptops and older IoT devices that only support WPA2. The security team wants to provide the strongest security for modern devices while maintaining compatibility for older ones. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Use WEP for legacy devices and WPA3 for modern devices

Use WPA3 for all devices and require legacy devices to be upgraded

Deploy a mixed-mode network with WPA3 for modern devices and WPA2 for legacy devices, using separate SSIDs

Use WPA2 for all devices to ensure compatibility
