SY0-501 Question #186: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A system administrator wants to provide for and enforce wireless access accountability during events where external speakers are invited to make presentations to a mixed audience of employees and non-employees. Which of the following should the administrator implement?

Options

• AShared accounts
• BPreshared passwords
• CLeast privilege
• DSponsored guest

Explanation

To provide and enforce wireless access accountability for external speakers and non-employees, the administrator should implement sponsored guest access.

Common mistakes.

• A. Shared accounts explicitly prevent individual accountability because multiple users share the same credentials, making it impossible to identify which specific person performed a particular action.
• B. Preshared passwords offer no individual accountability, as anyone with the password can connect, and network activity cannot be traced back to a specific individual user.
• C. Least privilege is a security principle about granting only necessary permissions, not an implementation for providing or enforcing wireless access accountability for guest users.
