The business case for security
summary
Claims that 70% of US digitization projects are currently slowed by security concerns, that pilots often ignore lifecycle costs, and that 50% of IoT security spend will go to remediation by 2022 drive a practical agenda: choose use cases before tech, design architectures not isolated devices, budget for HSMs and code‑signing processes, and expect lifecycle burdens (key management, recovery, update testing). Examples include a wasted plan to put sensors on 40,000 streetlights and Mirai’s takedown using insecure IP cameras; a secure microcontroller costs only about $0.20 extra.
