I can only hope that those who read this book will see that the technology investment
cycles that we have depended on for delivering innovation should be rethought for connected
devices. Applying development and quality control processes that are designed for rapid inno-
vation, low cost, and short product lifetimes will fail to prevent further erosions in our security
and privacy.
