Which assessment determines the vulnerabilities in the organization's wireless networks?

• A. Network-based Assessment
• B. Wireless Network Assessment
• C. External Assessment
• D. Internal Assessment

Answer: (B)

Wireless networks have their own set of vulnerabilities, like rogue access points, weak or outdated encryption, insecure authentication, misconfigured SSIDs, and vulnerable AP management interfaces. A Wireless Network Assessment is designed to probe exactly these areas, evaluating the wireless infrastructure itself — including access points, controllers, and wireless clients — to uncover weaknesses and unauthorized devices. This makes it the best fit for identifying vulnerabilities in the organization’s wireless networks, as opposed to broader assessments that focus on the wired network, external perimeter, or internal systems rather than the wireless domain.
