CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 47

A network technician is setting up a segmented network that will utilize a separate ISP to provide wireless access to the public area for a company. Which of the following wireless security methods should the technician implement to provide basic accountability for access to the public network?

Answer options

• A. Pre-shared key
• B. Enterprise
• C. Wi-Fi Protected setup
• D. Captive portal

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Captive portal, as it allows for user authentication and tracking, providing accountability for access to the public network. Options A (Pre-shared key) and B (Enterprise) do not inherently provide user tracking, while C (Wi-Fi Protected setup) simplifies connections but lacks accountability features.
