A vendor pitches "triple secure" guest Wi-Fi for city hall using WEP, a hidden SSID, and MAC filtering together. What is the correct technician response?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Stacking three leaky buckets does not make a sealed tank. WEP, hide-SSID, and MAC filtering are all legacy pseudo-controls—even together—so tear the bundle down and put a real WPA2 or WPA3 suite on the guest SSID.
Full Explanation
Combining WEP, hidden SSIDs, and MAC filtering does not produce adequate WLAN security. Each technique is a legacy anti-pattern, and stacking them still fails to provide modern confidentiality and integrity. The correct remediation is to reject the bundle and configure WPA2 or WPA3 per policy and design.
