Configure key encryption
Summary
The organization must prefer the use of WPA2 Personal or WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x) key encryption methods.
Description
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a significant improvement over its predecessor, WPA. WPA2 employs stronger encryption algorithms, making it more resistant to wireless attacks. The implementation of WPA2 Personal or WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x) key encryption methods is an essential method to establish a secure Wi-Fi network. It ensures strong encryption, and robust authentication.
