Anything network-connected will probably eventually have some vulnerability discovered when it's out in the wild. There's a business opportunity here: Anyone who makes a hardware device can pay a fee. In return they get to apply your company's branding to the hardware. They must submit their source code to you in escrow and provide you the keys to a remote update mechanism. You promise to only look at the their source code if there's a security flaw in their device and they're unresponsive. This way consumers still have some protection against insecure devices even when a manufacturer goes out of business or stops supporting a product line. You might want to include an expiration date on the branding ("Protected by SecureDevice until January 2018") to keep yourself from the unsustainable situation of providing unbounded support for a finite fee. I was going to call this a "startup opportunity," but I think it'd work best for a company who's already convinced lots of vendors to pay a fee for a hardware certification (e.g. someone who certifies compliance with key standards, or an OS vendor like Microsoft / Apple)
