Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Gogo Inc.'s ethical profile is mixed, notably in tech security. Reports suggest a past incident where Gogo allegedly issued fake Google certificates, potentially enabling a 'man-in-the-middle' attack that could have allowed eavesdropping and credential theft. In response, the company has enhanced cybersecurity, preparing for CMMC certification and implementing mandatory privacy training with phishing tests. Gogo also states it strives to collect only necessary data and is certified to major data privacy frameworks (EU-U.S., UK Extension, Swiss-U.S.), affirming user data rights.

0

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles to assess Gogo Inc. against the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value.

While one article mentions a tool developed by Gogo to assist other aviation companies with carbon reporting and offsetting, it does not provide any data on Gogo's own environmental footprint or initiatives.
