True point. The difference is that enterprise apps understand the need to patch and update. IOT devices and device builders largely do not.

IOT devices today look pretty much like any other internet device too. Linux, good CPU horsepower, ample memory and internet connection. More than a few exploits that work on enterprise servers can be adapted for IOT devices.

Add to this a lack of awareness of basic security issues among device builders and you've got a problem. That is why we are seeing so many security issues with IOT devices.
