Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-009 exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 2
[All N10-009 Questions]

An organization has a security requirement that all network connections can be traced back to a user. A network administrator needs to identify a solution to implement on the wireless network. Which of the following is the best solution?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Enterprise authentication (such as WPA2-Enterprise) utilizes unique credentials for each user, typically integrating with an authentication server like RADIUS. This allows for tracking and logging user activity, ensuring that all connections can be traced back to individual users. PSKs (Pre-Shared Keys) are shared among users and do not provide individual accountability. Captive portals can identify users but are less secure than enterprise authentication, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is outdated and not recommended for security purposes.


CompTIA Network+ materials highlight enterprise authentication methods as the preferred solution for secure and accountable wireless network access.

Captive portals? More like 'captive my attention for way too long.' Let's keep it simple, folks.

Enterprise authentication is the clear winner here. Anything else is just a security band-aid on a wireless network.

Wired equivalent protection? What is this, the Stone Age? That's just asking for trouble on a wireless network.
