The CIO of a digital public-advertising provider wants to deploy a wireless solution at the corporate headquarters. The wireless solution is for the floor where the company holds press conferences and multimedia corporate meetings. The CIO wants a virtual office for corporate guests that enhances the entertainment experience without creating security issues. Which response assures the CIO that unauthorized wireless access points will not be on the network?
A.
Cisco is a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance. By enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy keys in a Cisco Unified Wireless Network to encrypt the payload of packets sent, it is almost impossible for hackers to get into the network. If someone gains unauthorized access, the reporting features in the access point will notify IT managers when access points or devices fail authentication.
B.
A Cisco Unified Wireless Network has integrated security. Radio management features continuously monitor the radio environment, detect interference and rogue access points, and alert the WLAN administrator to radio network changes. The Cisco location server can map the location of thousands of Wi-Fi clients for IT management and high-value asset tracking. It enforces security policies by identifying and locating rogue access points and devices.
C.
Building a Self-Defending Network is key for a wireless solution. Only with the Cisco Network Admission Control Framework can organizations analyze and control all devices on the network. It ensures that every endpoint device complies with corporate security policy and is running the latest and most relevant security protections.
D.
Issues with network security always exist. Because IEEE 802.11i standards call for a one-way, device-centric form of authentication, it is inherently flawed. To ensure network security, use powerful, world-class network management features with a Cisco Unified Wireless Network. There is better visibility and control of the air space, as well as the ability to consolidate functionality into a single management system.
