Using Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication means that all users share the same Wi-Fi password, making it difficult to identify individual users when security incidents occur.
Migrating to WPA2-Enterprise (or WPA3-Enterprise) replaces PSK authentication with individual user credentials using 802.1X authentication and a RADIUS server. This allows the organization to:
Track and log specific user activity
Enforce per-user authentication policies
Improve network security
Breakdown of Options:
A). Restrict users to the 5GHz frequency - Improves performance but does not enhance user tracking or security.
B). Upgrade to a mesh network - A mesh network improves coverage, not security tracking.
C). Migrate from PSK to Enterprise - # Correct answer. WPA2-Enterprise or WPA3-Enterprise uses individual user authentication, allowing per-user tracking.
D). Implement WPA2 encryption - WPA2 is already widely used; it does not resolve the tracking issue.
