Small city satellite offices still use WPA2-PSK for a handful of staff laptops. What should replace that AKM for stronger personal-mode security?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Old WPA2-PSK is the shared house key that never changes. SAE in WPA3-Personal hardens that personal-mode handshake without forcing full 802.1X. Posting the key in DNS or going open is just inviting strangers in.
Full Explanation
WPA3-Personal uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to improve resistance to offline dictionary attacks compared with classic WPA2-PSK. For small offices that cannot yet run enterprise 802.1X, SAE is the preferred personal-mode upgrade path. WEP, publishing PSKs in DNS, and disabling encryption introduce severe confidentiality failures and are not acceptable replacements.
