Source: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 3.1.16

Discussion: Establishing usage restrictions and configuration/connection requirements for wireless access to the system provides criteria for organizations to support wireless access authorization decisions. Such restrictions and requirements reduce the susceptibility to unauthorized access to the system through wireless technologies. Wireless networks use authentication protocols which provide credential protection and mutual authentication. [SP 800-97] provides guidance on secure wireless networks.
