Which security standard is considered the best form of security because it is the most secure and does not limit network data rates?

Notes
Single input, single output (SISO) - Most systems have one radio and one antenna, and some systems have one radio and two antennas.
Multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) - These systems use multiple radio chains in a single wireless chipset.
Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) - These systems use each radio chain on an access point to transmit to a unique client.Correct answer:
Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP) - This type of security setup should never be used for a wireless network as it can be quickly be broken.
WPA/WPa2 -Personal - This type of security uses an 8-63 character passphrase that all network users share.
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise - In this type of security setup, everyone has a unique username and password, which allows IT departments to track individual users and reset unique user passwords without having to change the passphrase for the entire network.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) - This type of security setup allows new devices to be added to a network with a button press or an 8-digit PIN number.
