FCP – FortiWifi Administrator 7.4 — Question 9

What protection does WPA3 wireless encryption provide over WPA2 for securing wireless networks?

Answer options

• A. WPA3 uses 128-bit session key size
• B. WPA3 enforces only enterprise security mode
• C. WPA3 addresses the KRACK vulnerability
• D. WPA3 prevents legacy and deprecated wireless protocols from being used

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because WPA3 specifically addresses and mitigates the KRACK vulnerability that affected WPA2. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent WPA3's features; WPA3 does use a 128-bit session key but that is not an improvement over WPA2, and it does not enforce only enterprise mode. Option D is also inaccurate because while WPA3 enhances security, it does not outright prevent the use of legacy protocols; it simply discourages them.
