Difficulty: HardWireless Security and Authentication

A network technician is deploying a secure wireless network for a company's financial department. Organization security policy mandates individual user authentication using centralized domain accounts and high-strength data encryption. Which TWO of the following security protocols or standards should the technician implement to fulfill these security requirements?

  1. WPA3-Enterprise operation modeAnswer
  2. RADIUS authentication server supporting 802.1XAnswer
  3. C
    Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication mode
  4. D
    WPA2-Personal mode utilizing TKIP encryption

Answer

The technician should implement WPA3-Enterprise operation mode and a RADIUS authentication server supporting 802.1X.
Implementing WPA3-Enterprise and an 802.1X RADIUS server satisfies the requirements for strong encryption and centralized individual user authentication against domain accounts.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement for centralized, individual user authentication using domain credentials.
Identify that the 802.1X framework connected to a RADIUS server integrated with directory services (such as Active Directory) is required.
Personal modes (PSK) utilize a single shared static key and cannot validate distinct user credentials.
2
Analyze the requirement for strong enterprise wireless security and encryption.
Select WPA3-Enterprise mode to enforce 802.1X authentication and modern cryptographic suites.
WPA3-Enterprise ensures compliance with modern security mandates while TKIP and PSK modes introduce security risks and lack individual accounting.
