CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 37

A security engineer is deploying a new wireless network for a company. The company shares office space with multiple tenants. Which of the following should the engineer configure on the wireless network to ensure that confidential data is not exposed to unauthorized users?

Answer options

• A. EAP
• B. TLS
• C. HTTPS
• D. AES

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, AES, which is a strong encryption standard that secures data transmitted over wireless networks, helping to protect it from unauthorized access. EAP, TLS, and HTTPS are protocols that assist in securing communication but do not specifically address the encryption of data at the wireless layer, making them less effective for this particular scenario.
