CISSP study material · question 300 of 500

An office runs one wireless network for staff, guests and contractors alike, arguing that authentication separates them adequately. What does NIST SP 800-153 recommend?

  1. Separate logical wireless networks per usage profile, with devices on one unable to connect to devices on another.
  2. A single network is acceptable provided guests are placed on a separate frequency band.
  3. A single network is acceptable provided each profile uses a different pre-shared key.
  4. Separate networks are needed only where guests outnumber staff devices.

Answer: A. Separate logical wireless networks per usage profile, with devices on one unable to connect to devices on another.

Where more than one usage profile exists, such as guest and internal use, separate logical networks are expected, and one must not reach the other.
