The wireless security lead for a county clinic WLAN must mitigate eavesdropping against sensitive traffic. Which mitigation best matches CWSP guidance?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Stop talking in the clear—put real WPA2/WPA3 locks on clinic Wi-Fi and kill open/weak SSIDs for anything sensitive. MAC lists on an open door still leave the conversation audible. Encryption is the eavesdropping antidote.
Full Explanation
Mitigating eavesdropping centers on strong 802.11 link encryption (WPA2/WPA3 with modern ciphers) and avoiding open or deprecated weak SSIDs for sensitive municipal or healthcare traffic. Higher-layer VPN may add defense in depth but does not excuse weak RF security for regulated data. Deprecated options such as WEP increase, rather than reduce, confidentiality risk.
