CISSP study material · question 302 of 500

A policy addresses only the case of a device connected to both wired and wireless networks at once. Which broader risk does NIST SP 800-153 identify?

  1. Clients commonly hold several wireless connections at once, such as cellular, Bluetooth and the wireless LAN, and each combination has to be assessed.
  2. Clients may roam between access points, which creates a temporary dual connection.
  3. Clients may hold two wired connections through a docking station, which is the greater risk.
  4. Clients may hold a single connection but with two addresses, which policy must forbid.

Answer: A. Clients commonly hold several wireless connections at once, such as cellular, Bluetooth and the wireless LAN, and each combination has to be assessed.

SP 800-153 asks organisations to consider not only traditional dual connectedness but other forms involving multiple wireless networks, assessing the risk of the possible combinations.
