Vulnerability discussion

The Wi-Fi Alliance WPA2-Enterprise certification means the WLAN equipment can support DoD requirements, most notably EAP-TLS and AES-CCMP. If the equipment has not been WPA-Enterprise certified, then the equipment may not have the required security functionality to protect DoD networks and information.

Check content

Fix text

Procure WPA2-Enterprise certified WLAN equipment.
