Yes. Sat in a bid meeting last week with a client demanding it. Vendor team tells me people are now asking for this.
So here's how this train wreck is going to work:
1. integrator bids secure deployment
2. general contractor rips out all the cyber stuff to lower the price
3. integrator rolls over and shrugs their shoulders claiming "the GC made me do it" when interrogated by client IT security
4. insurance company's cyber insurance onboarding process checks site for security, just like they check for working fire suppression, code compliance etc.
5.a things are fine, you get your occupancy permit. GC continues current practices (secure or not)
5.b YOU DO NOT GET YOUR OCCUPANCY PERMIT. Or insurance policy. GC doesn't get paid. Building not usable, stuff like that.
Yep, many of you reading this think 5.b is fantasy. I respectfully suggest maybe it's not...
