Question

Difficulty: EasyWireless Security and Authentication

A network technician is configuring a wireless network for a corporate office. Company policy mandates that each employee must authenticate using their own individual domain credentials via a centralized RADIUS server, rather than sharing a pre-shared passphrase. Which of the following wireless security standards should the technician implement?

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

Answer

WPA3-Enterprise
WPA3-Enterprise utilizes the 802.1X authentication framework, which forwards individual user credentials to a centralized RADIUS server for authentication against domain accounts.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the authentication requirement.
The requirement specifies authenticating users individually using domain credentials via RADIUS.
Enterprise security modes utilize 802.1X framework to interface with AAA servers like RADIUS.
2
Evaluate wireless security modes against the requirement.
WPA3-Enterprise provides 802.1X support for individual user logins, whereas Personal modes (PSK/SAE) rely on a single shared key.
Selecting an Enterprise mode satisfies the requirement for centralized, individual user access control.
