ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 37
ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 37 of 100
A wireless LAN access point requires countermeasures against unauthorized use because radio signals can extend beyond the controlled physical area. Strong authentication, modern encryption, secure configuration, updates, and monitoring help prevent outsiders from joining or abusing the network.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- wireless encryption is not limited to WPA2
- radio communication has finite range and is affected by obstacles and interference
- multiple WLAN standards exist, but devices using incompatible standards or bands cannot necessarily communicate
Key rule: Wireless access crosses physical boundaries, so authentication and encryption are essential.
