D focuses on wireless security, but A is more comprehensive for both networks.

B seems off. Kerberos is more about authentication, not device compliance.

LDAP won't help with device compliance, so not a good choice.

Ah, the age-old question of how to keep your network secure and your IT team sane. 802.1x and NAC, my friends, is the way to go!

802.11i and AAA? I think the company is looking for wired and wireless network control, not just wireless.

I feel like 802.11i is more focused on wireless security, so it might not be the best fit for wired networks.

This question reminds me of a practice exam where we discussed how NAC can isolate devices based on compliance.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Kerberos being more about user authentication rather than device control.

I'm not too sure about this one. I'll need to review the differences between the protocols and standards mentioned to determine which one best meets the requirements of company-issued devices and network access control based on device posture.

I'm pretty confident that option A is the right answer. 802.1x provides the device authentication and Network Access Control allows for the isolation of devices that aren't up-to-date on patches.

Okay, I think I've got this. 802.1x and Network Access Control would be the way to go since they allow for device authentication and network access control based on device posture. That should cover the requirements.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between 802.1x and Kerberos. I'll need to review those to see which one is more appropriate for network access control.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different network security protocols and standards to figure out which ones would best meet the requirements.
