So, insurance companies are now keeping an eye on security systems after hacks or code thefts mainly pushing folks to use things like multi-factor logins and update their stuff. No total bans yet, but some places want firefighters to have a way in during emergencies. Plus, insurers might want to see your security setup before they pay out on some claims.
