CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 92

A network administrator is deploying a client certificate to be used for Wi-Fi access for all devices in an organization. The certificate will be used in conjunction with the user's existing username and password. Which of the following BEST describes the security benefits realized after this deployment?

Answer options

• A. Multifactor authentication will be forced for Wi-Fi.
• B. All Wi-Fi traffic will be encrypted in transit.
• C. Eavesdropping attempts will be prevented.
• D. Rogue access points will not connect.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using a client certificate along with a username and password constitutes multifactor authentication, enhancing security. Option B is incorrect since while encryption may occur, it is not the primary benefit of using both a certificate and credentials. Option C is misleading as eavesdropping can still happen if not properly secured. Option D is not accurate because rogue access points can still connect unless additional security measures are implemented.
