Implementing Wireless Access Accountability for Events

D.

The best solution to provide wireless access accountability during events where external speakers are invited to make presentations to a mixed audience of employees and non-employees would be to implement a "Sponsored guest" solution.

A sponsored guest solution allows the administrator to create temporary user accounts with limited access for guests, which can be monitored and controlled. This provides accountability and helps prevent unauthorized access to the network.

Here are some advantages of implementing a sponsored guest solution:

1. Accountability: A sponsored guest solution provides accountability because each guest user account can be traced back to a specific individual or organization. This can help prevent unauthorized access and ensure that the network is secure.

2. Limited Access: Each guest user account can be set up with limited access rights, which reduces the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.

3. Ease of Use: Sponsored guest solutions are easy to use because they require minimal configuration and can be quickly set up and managed by the administrator.

On the other hand, Shared accounts and preshared passwords do not provide the necessary accountability or access control required for this scenario. Least privilege is a security principle that restricts user access to only what is required to do their job, and while it is important to follow this principle, it does not directly address the issue of wireless access accountability.
