CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 144

During an assessment, a penetration tester was able to access the organization's wireless network from outside of the building using a laptop running Aircrack-ng. Which of the following should be recommended to the client to remediate this issue?

Answer options

• A. Changing to Wi-Fi equipment that supports strong encryption
• B. Using directional antennae
• C. Using WEP encryption
• D. Disabling Wi-Fi

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because upgrading to Wi-Fi equipment that supports strong encryption helps secure the network against unauthorized access. Options B and D may provide temporary relief but do not address the fundamental security weaknesses. Option C is incorrect as WEP encryption is outdated and vulnerable, making the network even less secure.
