Re: IoT seems to be one Big Fail

I do wonder why they really need patching.

If they all talk, behind a NAT, to a controller and that controller only makes outbound connections ( over TLS or similar ), then only the controller may ever need to be patched. Even then, only if the TLS is broken.

That's how they work already, isn't it?

( First person to say that NAT isn't a firewall gets a punch to the groin )
