>I work at an IoT company and we take security far more seriously than some would say is necessary or even reasonable.

Then you are a member of a miniscule minority.

The backing argument is a ballooning threat surface that can never reliably be patched

whats really needed is an actual un-fucked-with consumer grade encryption standard that is headless, touchless and on forever with no offswitch.

Currently enjoying the apocalyptic wasteland / occasionally broken mess that is H1Z1: King of the Kill
