CompTIA Security+ study material · question 450 of 611

Why is an untrusted wireless network a threat vector even when both endpoints are patched?

  1. Because endpoints cannot use TLS on such networks
  2. Because it lets an adversary see or modify traffic without touching either endpoint
  3. Because it disables the endpoint firewall
  4. Because it prevents certificate validation
Show the answer

Answer: B. Because it lets an adversary see or modify traffic without touching either endpoint

The attack is on the path rather than on the hosts, which is why transport protection matters independently of patching.
