WLAN controllers for the transit authority sit in unlocked telecom closets shared with janitorial storage. Which hardening step belongs in the security architecture?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Anybody who can walk up and touch the controller makes air crypto look optional. Lock and monitor the closet. Public kiosks and a longer PSK do not replace physical security.
Full Explanation
Physical security of infrastructure hosting WLAN controllers and related AAA systems is part of the wireless security architecture. Unrestricted physical access enables console compromise, cable taps, or device theft that bypasses RF-layer controls. Public placement or substituting a stronger PSK does not remediate physical exposure.
