🛡️ Free practice test question from: network security (Security+)

Imagine a medium-sized company called QuizzCorp. QuizzCorp has employees who use both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connections to access the company’s internal network, which includes sensitive resources like email, file servers, and internal applications.

QuizzCorp wants to ensure that only authorized employees can connect to their network, whether they’re using a company laptop, a mobile device, or any other device. They also want to manage and control who has access easily.

→ QuizzCorp configures their network switches (for wired connections) and wireless access points (for Wi-Fi) to use IEEE 802.1X for authentication.

→ This means that any device trying to connect to the network must first prove its identity before being granted access.
