Airbus is putting all its design on internet? wow...

• raverbashing 10mo ago
  You'd be fooling yourself if you think any moderately complex company still hasn't moved to the cloud or isn't thinking about it (with rare exceptions)
  • notahacker 10mo ago
    Yeah, not really sure how a globally distributed manufacturing operation with a complex supply chain and customers all over the world that need access to data for their operations is supposed to function effectively without it. (and I say that as someone that used to sell commercial aviation data that came on CDs...)

      I don't think this is related to that "critical" stuff. It seems there is a misunderstanding over the classification of 'critical' stuff. We may all have a very different definition. All I know: the second your are connected to internet, you are cooked.
      • notahacker 10mo ago
        I'm not sure what the 'critical' stuff is either or what the details of Airbus' network hosting and knowledge compartmentalization strategy is, but you're not going to run a globally distributed manufacturing business with complex supply and maintenance requirements without having technical specs, CAD files, diagnostic criteria customer records etc sitting on computers connected to the internet.

      You do know that the Internet and "the cloud" are not the same thing, right?
• pestaa 10mo ago
  Managing product data on the cloud does not mean public internet access, unless someone messes something up big time.

  > Airbus is putting all its design on internet? wow... Not only Airbus. You see, cloud is secure, information is encrypted and only you have access to your data.
  • sylware 10mo ago
    It would be reasonably "secure" if it is encrypted on a physically private network using in-house _modified_ _mainstream_ encryption algorithm, then after an over-the-air transfer then you can store it on a third party could under the control of foreign interests. Oh, don't forget the file names have to be encrypted too. Everything else is, I am sorry to say, BS.

      > in-house _modified_ _mainstream_ encryption algorithm Why would a company without cryptographic expertise modifying an existing algorithm without any particular goal in mind just to be different, produce something more secure than the winning solution in an open cryptographic competition? > directory names And file structure too, preferably. Incremental sync could be done with XTS mode.
      • sylware 10mo ago
        You need only cryptographic common sense: it seems you have no idea how much it is easy to modify a mainstream cryptographic software to add basic and robust cryptographic modifications... Are you an AI?

          >You need only cryptographic common sense Sounds like the "I know a guy" kind of thing that shouldn't be done if you really care about security. >Are you an AI? Non-sequitur.

  You can have the data safely on-prem, connected to computers that are connected to the internet, or safely in the cloud, connected to computers that are connected to the internet. The threats are not that different.
