Network Security and Architecture

You are the Security Administrator for Prodotxiss Inc. You want to protect your enterprise Wi-Fi network against wireless snooping attacks. Which of the following measures should you apply to the network’s site devices?

  • A Apply firewalls at appropriate spots.
  • B Download and install new firmware patch for the router.
  • C Disable the SSID broadcast feature of the router.
  • D Apply a standard ACL on the router.
Explanation

Disabling SSID broadcast reduces routine discovery of the wireless network and is the listed measure most directly targeted at limiting wireless snooping. It is not a complete protection against passive interception; WPA2/WPA3 encryption and strong authentication are also necessary because a nonbroadcast SSID can still be observed in wireless traffic.
