Discussion Points
1. Some virtual teams at Boeing have discussions focused on military aircraft. Do some Internet research on UC security mechanisms and identify and briefly describe several that Boeing should have in place to ensure the privacy and integrity of such discussions.
A 1. Boeing has completed centennial in aerospace industry in 2016 and manufactures defence aircraft, commercial jetliners and space and security systems. They are dispersed around the globe and has their footprints in 70 different countries. Spread across the length and breadth of the globe, they discovered compatibility issues in communication and shifted to different models of available communications. In 2000, they migrated to Unified Communications due to the …show more content…
The UC Server should be backed up by reputed firewall which entrusts blocking unknown traffic into the network, enhancing the security level.
• VPN for Remote Users
VPN device is a must for unified communication because it creates encrypted tunnel over the public internet, thereby increasing the security and safety of the network. The VPN can be accessed by the trusted members of the organization, hence no unknown traffic can enter the realms of VPN. The VPN requires prior authentication to access the network.
• Strong & Unique Passwords
The passwords created to access the network should be strong and kept confidential to save the network from breach or been accessed by the hacker. The passwords should be changed periodically.
• Regular Software Updation of UC
The software should be updated regularly to fix bugs and security issues. The updation releases latest version of the software. It is imperative to take the backup of the existing data before going for software updates.

To what extent do the UC benefits experienced by Boeing mirror those of other firms that have deployed UC capabilities over converged IP networks?
A2. Unified communications benefits are manifold and it directly boosts the business increasing its productivity. The employees of Boeing are scattered around the globe and the UC is the tool which unifies all for viable communication through various set of UC products. The amalgamation of set of products initiates the exchange of communication across multiple devices and different types of media, bringing in transparency in the system.
There are multiple benefits of UC, which we will discuss under.
Benefits of Unified Communications
• Cost Depreciation
Unified communications is one time investment and the direct leverage of UC is depreciation in recurring cost wasted on communication.
• 24*7 Availability
UC, being amalgamation of set of products, the entire system cannot collapse in one go. You are available on the network around the clock and if one set of interface goes wrong, the other interface will pull the communication.
