[SOLVED] Is it safe to not do firmware updates?
Posted: Sat May 08, 2021 3:42 am
I am developing a product for sale which sends status updates to Google IoT via MQTT. It seems there are no good options for updating the firmware remotely. If I ship without this ability, is this safe? I don’t want to be responsible for spreading worms and such.
I reviewed the change log for the words “security” and “vulnerability” or “crash” and it seems this is not common. The device does not listen on any ports and would be installed behind customer firewalls, and only communicate to Google using a pre-shared key.
I would be able to update the scripts. This question is about the firmware.
Is it safe to proceed without firmware OTA ability?
