A security professional is assessing the network infrastructure of a company and discovers that wireless access points are broadcasting an open network without any form of encryption. What is the BEST action to improve the security posture regarding this finding?
Implementing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor wireless traffic
Changing the Service Set Identifier (SSID) to a less common name
Enabling WPA3 on all wireless access points
Decreasing the signal strength to limit the wireless range
Enabling WPA3 on wireless access points ensures that the wireless communication is encrypted, providing confidentiality and integrity for the data transmitted over the air. WPA3 is currently the strongest form of wireless security generally available, which protects against unauthorized access and eavesdropping.
