Difficulty: EasyWireless Security and Authentication

A network technician is configuring a secure Wi-Fi network for a corporate office. The security policy requires each employee to authenticate using their individual domain credentials rather than sharing a single pre-shared key. Which of the following wireless security standards should the technician implement?

  1. WPA3-EnterpriseAnswer
  2. B
    WPA3-Personal
  3. C
    WPA2-Personal
  4. D
    WEP

Answer

WPA3-Enterprise
WPA3-Enterprise implements 802.1X authentication, which integrates with an enterprise authentication server (such as RADIUS) to verify each user's unique credentials before granting network access.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the authentication requirement from the scenario.
The requirement states that users must log in with individual domain credentials rather than a shared password.
Enterprise wireless security modes integrate with 802.1X/RADIUS RADIUS servers for central user authentication.
2
Evaluate the available wireless security modes against the requirement.
WPA3-Enterprise provides 802.1X authentication support, while Personal modes (WPA2/WPA3-Personal) use a shared passphrase.
Selecting the Enterprise variant fulfills the requirement for unique individual account authentication.
