Abstract

The following is the security assessment of the Aircraft Solutions (AS) a recognized leader in the design and fabrication of components products and services for companies in the electronics, commercial, defense and aerospace.

Competitors would have little obstacles to gain the information need to obtain a competitive advantage. Should any environmental breach occur at the server location, the backup data would also be lost and not recoverable.
