CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 758

A security engineer must deploy two wireless routers in an office suite. Other tenants in the office building should not be able to connect to this wireless network.
Which of the following protocols should the engineer implement to ensure the STRONGEST encryption?

Answer options

• A. WPS
• B. WPA2
• C. WAP
• D. HTTPS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

WPA2 provides the strongest encryption for wireless networks, utilizing AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to secure data. WPS, while useful for simplifying connections, does not enhance encryption strength. WAP is an obsolete protocol and does not provide encryption, while HTTPS is used for securing web traffic rather than wireless networks.
