CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 476

A network technician is installing a guest wireless network at a coffee shop. When a customer purchases an item, the password for the wireless network is printed on the receipt so the customer can log in. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely configure to provide the highest level of security with the least amount of overhead?

Answer options

• A. WPA-EAP
• B. WEP-TKIP
• C. WPA-PSK
• D. WPS-PIN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

WPA-PSK provides a good balance of security and ease of use, making it suitable for a guest network where the password can be easily distributed. WPA-EAP requires a more complex setup for authentication, while WEP-TKIP is outdated and less secure. WPS-PIN also poses security risks due to vulnerabilities associated with PIN-based access.
