An old autonomous AP in a city warehouse still offers WEP on a spare SSID. What is the correct technician stance?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
WEP is the rusty padlock everybody still recognizes and nobody should trust. If an old AP still offers it, shut that door—do not use WEP. Shorter keys and hiding the SSID do not make broken crypto okay.
Full Explanation
WEP is cryptographically broken and deprecated; CWTS technicians must not deploy it as a security choice. Legacy hardware that still exposes WEP should be remediated to modern suites. Key length convenience, indefinite IoT excuses, and hidden SSIDs do not rehabilitate WEP.
