WPA3 Support on the AP15

WPA3 is approaching release and it appears to be a major upgrade.

Do we know which Sophos Wireless products will be supported?

Specifically, I have the AP15 but am curious about all of them.

Thanks,

Dougga

Hi Dougga,

I am not aware of any discussions related to WPA3 so far. I suggest you to raise it as a feature request on Sophos Ideas.

Thanks,

Hi,

please look into it, because WPA2 is now easily cracked:

Is in Sophos implementations roaming used? if not, WPA2 is still safe, but its certainly better to have WPA3.

Excellent find, Edmund! The guy that found this vulnerability, Steube, says in the article that he uses a password generator to create a truly-random PSK in the 20-30 character range.

We shouldn't be concerned about this because we don't have "standard" PSKs like home routers do. I use a password safe to keep track of passwords/PSKs and always generate 15-character codes. Also, organizations large enough to have an authentication server should be using WPA2 Enterprise.
