Question

Shawn's supervisor has tasked him with determining how the company can increase the security of its Wi-Fi. Shawn plans to present several options to his supervisor and ask her to check his work. Which of the following is not a strong security method? (Select TWO.)
a. Disabling SSID
b. WPS
c. MAC filtering
d. Setting encryption

Answer 1

Answer:

The not strong security methods are:

a. Disabling SSID

b. WPS

Explanation:

When you disable SSID, you only make your Wi-Fi secure for the less determined attackers.  By disabling the SSID (network name), those who are less technically inclined are prevented from connecting to the network but, this will not deter a more determined and technically savvy adversary.  The best two options are MAC filtering and setting encryption.  WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) enables the process of connecting to a secure wireless network from a computer or other device easier instead of making it harder.
