Which of the following mitigates the risk of rogue access points?

Enabling DHCP with no restrictions
Conducting regular surveys of the wireless network
Allowing all devices to connect without authentication
Disabling encryption on wireless networks

The correct answer is: Conducting regular surveys of the wireless network

Conducting regular surveys of the wireless network is vital for mitigating the risk of rogue access points because it involves actively monitoring and assessing the wireless environment. By performing these surveys, network administrators can identify unauthorized access points that may be attempting to connect to the network without permission. This proactive approach allows for the detection of suspicious activity, ensuring that any rogue devices can be located and dealt with before they can pose a threat to the network’s security. Regularly surveying the wireless network can also help in understanding the overall layout and strength of authorized access points, while distinguishing normal network behavior from anomalies that could indicate security breaches, such as the presence of rogue access points.
