CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 105

A company wishes to allow employees with company-owned mobile devices to connect automatically to the corporate wireless network upon entering the facility.
Which of the following would BEST accomplish this objective?

Answer options

• A. Open wireless
• B. Geofencing
• C. Pre-shared key
• D. MAC filtering

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Using a Pre-shared key (C) allows for secure authentication of devices connecting to the corporate network, ensuring only authorized devices can access it. Open wireless (A) lacks security, making it unsuitable. Geofencing (B) may help in controlling access based on location but does not facilitate automatic connection. MAC filtering (D) can enhance security but is less efficient for automatically connecting devices as it requires manual setup for each device.
