From a business perspective, why should they until the cost of not securing their network is higher than the cost to secure the network?
Some of the costs of not securing their network:
- cost of data being copied, deleted, manipulated, or shared with competitors that use it for a business advantage
- cost to defend lawsuits or pay judgments for injuries suffered as a result of the flawed network
- cost to repair or replace physical hardware damaged or destroyed (a light bulb burned out due to rapidly being turned on and off, spoiled food caused by manipulation of a “smart” refrigerator, pipes burst due to the HVAC system being disabled in the middle of winter, fires started by a “smart” stove, etc.)
- increased insurance costs because of claims related to the first three bullets
