Please create a case study of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Network Security. After viewing the videos and reading the assigned articles via links that I have attached below (uploaded), respond to these questions:
What network technologies are used to provide IFE in the Boeing 787? What benefits, do you suppose, are derived from the using a common network for all onboard systems? Comment on the security concern. Do you feel there is risk? Explain why or why not.
The case study must be in the APA 6th edition format, be at least 2 pages/500 words, and have at least 2 resources.
Thank you!
The Boeing 787 is a fantastic aircraft with versions capable of seating up to 300 passengers with a range of up to 8,200 nautical miles. This aircraft is full of technology including a composite material skin, a fiber optic data bus for networking, and a high tech in-flight entertainment system (IFE).
To explore the technology behind the IFE, view these two videos and while doing so take note of the computer technology in use, especially the networking.
