Free CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Practice Question

An employee connects their laptop to what they believe is the company's guest Wi-Fi network. However, the network is actually an unauthorized access point set up by an attacker to mimic the legitimate network. Which type of security threat is this an example of, and what is the BEST way to prevent employees from falling victim to this type of attack?

  • Educate employees on verifying network authenticity and implement network access control for authentication.

  • Implement strong WPA3 encryption on all wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access.

  • Change the SSIDs of company networks frequently to prevent attackers from predicting the network names.

  • Disable the broadcasting of the SSID to ensure attackers cannot discover the network name.
