Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 161

An organization is looking to improve threat detection on their wireless network. The company goal is to automate alerts to improve response efforts. Which of the following best practices should be implemented FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a standalone guest Wi-Fi network.
• B. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all domain accounts.
• C. Deploy a wireless intrusion detection system (IDS).
• D. Implement 802.1x authentication.

Correct answer: C

Explanation
