The WLAN access point must be configured for Wi-Fi Alliance WPA2 or WPA3 security.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2/WPA3 certification provides assurance that the device has adequate security functionality and can implement the IEEE 802.11i standard for robust security networks. The previous version of the Wi-Fi Alliance certification, WPA, did not require AES encryption, which must be supported for DoD WLAN implementations. Devices without any WPA certification likely do not support required security functionality and could be vulnerable to a wide range of attacks.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
