CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 259

A newly implemented wireless network is designed so that visitors can connect to the wireless network for business activities. The legal department is concerned that visitors might connect to the network and perform illicit activities. Which of me following should the security team implement to address this concern?

Answer options

• A. Configure a RADIUS server to manage device authentication.
• B. Use 802.1X on all devices connecting to wireless.
• C. Add a guest captive portal requiring visitors to accept terms and conditions.
• D. Allow for new devices to be connected via WPS.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a guest captive portal can ensure that visitors acknowledge and agree to terms of use, potentially deterring illicit activities. Option A, while useful for authentication, does not directly address the visitor's intent. Option B, implementing 802.1X, is a strong security measure but does not provide a way for visitors to agree to rules. Option D allows for easy connections but poses a significant security risk.
