On the other hand, in-flight Wi-Fi "security" and actual company property security don't have anything to do with it. The in-flight Wi-Fi isn't protecting anything, it's just there as an annoyance to get a few extra bucks similarly to catering (and just like the latter, typically outsourced to a third-party which just allows them to white-label it).
There's also an European one whose name currently escapes me which uses a custom flavor of LTE and special ground stations that also happily provides hundreds of mbps.
Capacity is primarily an issue on the legacy BGAN-based ones where you have a handful of mbps for the entire plane.
Sorry, pet peeve: do you mean MB/s, Mb/s, or something else? Probably not the milli-bits per second (mbps) that you wrote.
Is it just me, or are pentests about as useless as a UK home survey? Like, they're not going to move the furniture to look for issues.
I've experienced many companies who think due diligence is done by paying a 3rd party company to do the annual pentest. Meanwhile, the eng that actually work on the product, and know about potential issues, can't get leadership buy-in to invest in security.
Should it be your only security strategy? No. But it can help in combination with other solutions.
Hey it confirms the loft exists at least, by virtue of the surveyor sticking their head through the hatch
Is there a more cushty job in existence??
They said a pentest would find them if they were important.
I think we parted with both parties unimpressed with the other.
