Securing industrial systems is a major problem. Security - when not done perfect - is a disruption into efficiency, usability, and functionality.
If you calculate the expected cost of a hack vs. the expected value of rebuilding the electronic infrastructure, in some situations being hacked is cheaper.
Further, being hacked is rolling the dice... there is a probability it won't happen. Whereas, an electronic infrastructure rebuild is a guaranteed expense... and expensive.
Then there's the Columbine mentality, "It could never happen here". That's pretty pervasive.

The problem with cost benefit analysis is that it makes one core assumption. That tomorrow will be substantively like today. I don't believe in black swans but I do believe in climate change
