This article explains how CISSP Domain 4 tests Wi-Fi security from a management perspective, focusing on choosing the right protocols and authentication methods rather than configuring networks. It outlines the evolution from WEP to WPA3, compares PSK, SAE, and Enterprise/802.1X, and highlights why options like MAC filtering and captive portals have limited security value. #WEP #WPA3 #802.1X #RADIUS #SAE
Keypoints
- CISSP Domain 4 tests scenario-based Wi-Fi security decisions, not network configuration.
- WEP is broken, WPA is weak, WPA2 is the minimum acceptable standard, and WPA3 is the current best practice.
- PSK is simple but vulnerable, while SAE in WPA3-Personal prevents offline dictionary attacks.
- Enterprise Wi-Fi uses 802.1X with a RADIUS server for individual accountability.
- MAC filtering and captive portals are limited controls and do not replace strong encryption.
