A museum exhibit controller only supports WEP. A technician suggests hiding the SSID so WEP is 'safe enough.' What is the correct mitigation approach?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hiding the SSID is a 'please don’t look' sign on a glass door—WEP still shatters. Swap that exhibit box or park it on a tightly isolated network; do not pretend invisibility fixes broken crypto.
Full Explanation
WEP remains cryptographically unacceptable regardless of SSID broadcast settings. Appropriate responses are device replacement with modern WLAN security or strict network isolation of the legacy endpoint. Hiding the SSID, publishing keys, or removing perimeter controls does not mitigate WEP.
