CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 61

A security consultant needs to set up wireless security for a small office that does not have Active Directory. Despite the lack of central account management, the office manager wants to ensure a high level of defense to prevent brute-force attacks against wireless authentication.
Which of the following technologies would BEST meet this need?

Answer options

• A. Faraday cage
• B. WPA2 PSK
• C. WPA3 SAE
• D. WEP 128 bit

Correct answer: C

Explanation

WPA3 SAE provides enhanced security features compared to WPA2 PSK, making it more resistant to brute-force attacks. WEP 128 bit is outdated and insecure, while WPA2 PSK, although better than WEP, does not offer the same level of protection as WPA3. A Faraday cage is not a wireless security technology but a physical barrier against electromagnetic signals.
