Exam N10-009 Topic 4 Question 170 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-009 exam
Question #: 170
Topic #: 4
A medical clinic recently configured a guest wireless network on the existing router. Since then, guests have been changing the music on the speaker system. Which of the following actions should the clinic take to prevent unauthorized access? (Select two).

Suggested Answer: A,E Vote an answer

*A. Isolate smart devices to their own network segment: Network segmentation using VLANs or separate SSIDs ensures that smart devices (like speakers) are not on the same network as guests, preventing unauthorized control.
*E. Change the default credentials: Many IoT devices (e.g., smart speakers) come with default usernames and passwords. If these are not changed, unauthorized users can easily take control.
*Why not the other options?
*B. Configure IPS: IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) detects threats but cannot block specific guest actions on an IoT device.
*C. Install a new AP: A new access point does not solve the unauthorized control issue.
*D. Set up a syslog server: Helps with logging, but does not prevent unauthorized access.
*F. Configure GRE: Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is used for VPN tunneling, which is irrelevant in this case.
