CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 640

A security consultant has been asked to identify a simple, secure solution for a small business with a single access point. The solution should have a single SSID and no guest access. The customer facility is located in a crowded area of town, so there is a high likelihood that several people will come into range every day. The customer has asked that the solution require low administrative overhead and be resistant to offline password attacks. Which of the following should the security consultant recommend?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

WPA3-Personal is the best recommendation as it offers enhanced security features that protect against offline password attacks while maintaining simplicity for users and requiring minimal management. WPA2-Preshared Key, while secure, does not provide as strong protection against password attacks. WPA2-Enterprise and WPA3-Enterprise involve more complex configurations and administrative overhead, which do not align with the client's request for a simple solution.
