I just spent seven months doing customer discovery at the intersection of industrial control systems (ICS) and cybersecurity.

I’ve had a moderate interest in security for years and a mild interest in ICS for a short time. I may have to take a look at some of these ideas. No way I could bootstrap a business though :p<p>Interestingly I’ve seen a lot more regarding ICS security recently than I have in the past. I’m guessing this is partially because of somewhat recent big news items.
