Modern aircraft such as the Boeing 787 are full of technology including advanced avionics, a fiber optic data bus for networking, and high tech in-flight entertainment systems (IFE).
This assignment requires you to explore an aviation-related network security topic and report your findings using the PowerPoint presentation tool. To begin, select one of the topics below (in bold font) and review the sample materials to gather background information. Alternatively, you may opt to select a different topic related to aviation network security and will then need to research additional sources.
