CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator v107 — Question 11

Lynne runs a small hotel, and as a value added for his customers he has implemented a Wi-Fi hotspot. Lynne has read news articles about how hackers wait at hotspots trying to take advantage of unsuspecting users. He wants to avoid this problem at his hotel.
What is an efficient and practical step that Lynne can take to decrease the likelihood of active attacks on his customers wireless computers?

Answer options

• A. Implement Network Access Control (NAC) and require antivirus and firewall software along with OS patches.
• B. Implement an SSL VPN in the WLAN controller that initiates after HTTPS login.
• C. Enable station-to-station traffic blocking by the access points in the hotel.
• D. Require EAP_FAST authentication and provide customers with a username/password on their receipt.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Implementing an SSL VPN allows for secure connections for users after they log in via HTTPS, significantly decreasing the risk of data interception by attackers. The other options, while beneficial, do not provide the same level of security specifically for protecting users' data during their session on the hotspot.
