Vendor support ends for AP code that still has unpatched remote flaws on a municipal campus. What preventative path remains when patches will never ship?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the vendor stops mailing lock upgrades, you replace the door—not rename the street. Out-of-support AP code means a hardware refresh plan, not hoping nobody notices.
Full Explanation
Lifecycle replacement is required when WLAN devices can no longer be patched. SSID obscurity, deprecated crypto, or disabling logs do not remediate unfixed remote flaws on out-of-support platforms. Preventative planning includes retiring unsupported AP hardware/software.
