A city retail concession on the waterfront must process card payments over Wi-Fi for POS tablets. Which WLAN security requirement best reflects PCI-DSS expectations for that wireless path?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picture the POS tablets as a cash drawer sitting in the open air—PCI cares that card data isn't floating past shoppers on an open SSID. Put the payment WLAN behind real encryption, keep it off the guest network, and watch it like the rest of the card environment.
Full Explanation
PCI-DSS expects organizations that handle cardholder data to protect that data in transit and to isolate cardholder environments from less-trusted networks. For WLAN, that typically means strong encryption, segmentation between POS and guest/public SSIDs, and monitoring consistent with the payment security program. A splash page, RF planning alone, or assuming wireless is out of scope does not satisfy those requirements.
