I thought MAC address filtering was pretty effective, but I've heard it can be spoofed.

Changing the SSID is just a distraction, not a real security measure.

I vaguely recall that MAC address filtering can be bypassed, so I’m not sure if that’s the best option either. It’s tricky!

Changing the SSID to something random seems like a good idea, but I feel like it might not really stop determined attackers.

I think disabling SSID broadcast can help, but I’m not convinced it’s the most effective method. I’ve seen practice questions where it was more about encryption.

I remember studying that WPA2 is crucial for securing wireless networks, but I’m not sure if it’s the only thing we should rely on.

Creating MAC address-based ACLs could work, but that can be a pain to manage, especially in a larger organization. I think WPA2 is the simplest and most effective solution for this scenario.

Enabling WPA2 encryption is definitely the way to go here. That provides strong encryption and authentication to keep unauthorized users off the network. The other options might add some security, but WPA2 is the clear winner in my opinion.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Disabling SSID broadcast or changing the SSID name might help, but I'm not sure if those are the most effective methods. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, service composability - that's about being able to combine services in different ways, right? I'll need to review the principles and see which ones support that.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is Integrity, since that's a key technical safeguard.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The question is pretty straightforward - it's just asking which controller the orphaned APs will join. I think I can narrow it down based on the controller characteristics provided in the answer choices.

Haha, disabling SSID? Next, they'll be telling us to use 'password123' as the passphrase. Security through obscurity is so 90s.
