After announcing the WPA3 security protocol for Wi-Fi as CES 2018, the Wi-Fi Alliance has officially begun to certify devices for next-generation networking. Improved security measures will prevent offline bruteforce attempts against captured data and will also make it easier to connect IoT devices to networks.
One of thefeatured offered by WPA3 is requiring Protected Management Frames by default. Using the WPA2 protocol, this option was not required and often limited to only enterprise or premium consumer devices.
