CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 459

A security administrator wants to configure a company's wireless network in a way that will prevent wireless clients from broadcasting the company's SSID. Which of the following should be configured on the company's access points?

Answer options

• A. Enable ESSID broadcast
• B. Enable protected management frames
• C. Enable wireless encryption
• D. Disable MAC authentication
• E. Disable WPS
• F. Disable SSID broadcast

Correct answer: F

Explanation

Disabling SSID broadcast prevents the company's SSID from being shown to wireless clients, enhancing security by making the network less visible. Enabling ESSID broadcast would do the opposite, while the other options do not specifically address SSID visibility.
