CND Practice Question: Enterprise Cloud Virtual And Wireless Network Protection

An organization is implementing enterprise wireless security using WPA3-Enterprise. To ensure maximum cryptographic strength and protection against downgrade attacks, which security mode and key derivation function must be enforced?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode (Suite B compliance)

WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode enforces Suite B cryptographic algorithms, including a 192-bit CNSA security suite, SHA-384, and GCMP-256.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
WPA2-Enterprise with AES-CCMP and TKIP fallback
Why it's wrong here
TKIP is obsolete and insecure, and WPA2 lacks the 192-bit enhancements of WPA3.
✗
Enhanced Open (OWE) with opportunistic encryption
Why it's wrong here
Enhanced Open is designed for open Wi-Fi hotspots, providing data encryption without authentication, not enterprise environments.
✓
WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode (Suite B compliance)
Why this is correct
WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode enforces robust cryptography such as 384-bit hash functions and 256-bit encryption for high-security environments.
✗
WPA3-Personal with SAE and transition mode enabled
Why it's wrong here
Transition mode allows WPA2 clients to connect, which lowers the overall security posture and is not used for 192-bit enterprise requirements.
