An office manager is tasked with setting up a new wireless network for the company. The manager wants to ensure the network is secured against unauthorized access while maintaining a high level of performance. Which encryption standard should be used for the office's Wi-Fi network?
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) is the best encryption choice for a secure office network because it uses the strong AES encryption algorithm and is widely supported by modern devices. WEP is obsolete and easily cracked, so it should be avoided. WPA is more secure than WEP but still weaker than WPA2 because it relies on TKIP. An open network offers no encryption at all, leaving data and bandwidth exposed to anyone in range.
