ISC Practice Question: Systems Security Implementation Verification And Validation
You are validating the security implementation of a wireless network. Which THREE of the following are necessary to verify that WPA3 is properly configured?
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
✓
Check that the network is configured to use AES-GCMP encryption.
WPA3 validation focuses on encryption, authentication method, and management frame protection.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ensure that CCMP-128 is the only cipher suite enabled.
Why it's wrong here
WPA3 requires GCMP-256 for transition-mode or Enterprise-mode compliance.
- ✓
Check that the network is configured to use AES-GCMP encryption.
Why this is correct
GCMP is a required cipher mode for WPA3 security.
- ✓
Verify that Management Frame Protection (MFP) is mandatory.
Why this is correct
MFP is a required component of the WPA3 standard.
- ✗
Enable support for WEP as a fallback for older devices.
Why it's wrong here
WEP is highly insecure and incompatible with WPA3 requirements.
- ✓
Confirm that SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) is enabled.
Why this is correct
SAE is the replacement for PSK in WPA3, providing better security.
