Re: Industrial automation tends to be conservative --
The big problem is the fact that MBA office wallahs have taken over from engineers in a lot of heavy industry.
While the engineers were used to actually going and seeing the office wallah can only think of reaching for his/her phone as a way of finding anything out. Tell them to actually go out on site and look for themselves and hear the squeals of fright.
It is because of that office mentality that we end up with security problems and it will get worse unless the engineers and sys admins apply their collective boots to the rear of the office wallahs.
