CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 662

A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is staying at a hotel during a business trip. The hotel's wireless network does not show a lock symbol. Which of the following precautions should the CEO take? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Change the connection type to WPA2
• B. Change TKIP to CCMP
• C. Use a VPN
• D. Tether to a mobile phone
• E. Create a tunnel connection with EAP-TTLS

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Using a VPN (C) encrypts the internet connection, providing security over an unsecured network. Tethering to a mobile phone (D) creates a personal and secure connection, avoiding public Wi-Fi vulnerabilities. The other options do not directly address the immediate risks of using an unsecured network in a hotel setting.
