A technician is installing a new wireless network and wants to secure the wireless network to prevent unauthorized access. Which of the following protocols would be the MOST secure?

  1. WEP

  2. WPA

  3. WPA2

  4. MAC filtering

The correct answer is: WPA2

WPA2 would be the most secure protocol for a wireless network. While WEP and WPA offer some level of security, they have known vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by unauthorized users. MAC filtering can also be easily bypassed, making it a weaker option for securing a wireless network. WPA2, on the other hand, utilizes stronger encryption methods and is considered the industry standard for wireless network security.
