Supported or vulnerable?

"Not supported" doesn't mean the device is vulnerable, just as "supported" doesn't mean it is secure. The survey states "57% of IoT devices are vulnerable to medium- or high-severity attacks" which is worrying. However it doesn't distinguish between the vulnerabilities due to poorly configured devices (which can be fixed quite easily) and vulnerabilities that require software update to fix.
