A technician is configuring a new wireless router for a small business. To provide strong security and prevent unauthorized access, which of the following encryption standards should be used?
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a security standard that provides strong encryption for wireless networks and is the most widely used secure protocol today. It replaced the older and less secure WPA and WEP standards by mandating the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is much stronger than the protocols used by its predecessors. For modern networks, WPA2 is the minimum security standard that should be implemented.
