To get over the hump, there’s a large amount of cost center and infra spending, and then basically exclusive focus on tech debt-like activities for a few quarters to get everything in place. If the cost was manageable, imagine being on the receiving end of the attitudes you, or hopefully not you but some of your coworkers put towards helping implement these changes as the infra fixes cross so many departments.
That’s snark aside, just a candid take.
If it was fixable like that, the other issue is IOT doesn’t really have a standard platform to build on that’s secure. The equip leaves a factory in Shenzhen and like who is patch managing that? The producer in China? That activity goes on behind the scenes at company by a security team.
Good news is MSFT and AWS are starting to deploy COTS IoT operating systems to help fix.
So: crazy tech debt to fix, hard patch/support problems, and then (unmentioned) is ICS pay for security engineers is a About half of market, so talent problems abound.
