Explanation
To mitigate constant unwanted connection attempts to corporate Wi-Fi, the SSID (Service Set Identifier) broadcast should be disabled, making the network invisible to casual scanners.
Common mistakes.
- B. Disabling DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) would prevent legitimate clients from automatically obtaining IP addresses, making it difficult for authorized users to connect, but it would not stop connection attempts to the Wi-Fi network itself.
- C. A firewall controls network traffic based on rules but does not prevent initial connection attempts to the Wi-Fi access point or hide the network's presence.
- D. SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of storage device and is completely unrelated to Wi-Fi network configuration or security.
