That said....
Q1 - I'm curious though if there are any initiatives in the works to work with these IoT companies when it comes to interacting with security researchers (outside said company/ies), their response and reaction to bugs, exploits, zero days etc that are brought to their attention especially in good faith.
And
Q2 - Once informed, how to categorize and address the disclosed issue within the company. Is it a "stop everything and get this fixed asap" issue because said company may have early beta equipment in-use in the wild (customers) and may feel the issue is enough of a threat to apply most of their resources to fixing said issue (at least those resources necessary to address the issue) even if it means taking those resources away from their current work (perhaps in the midst of meeting a deadline?) I realize it's all contextual and we could all come up with 100 different scenarios but it should be noted that a lot of start-ups are going to be riding a fine line with deadlines, money, perception etc and likely won't be able to weather a misstep quite as well as the larger more established companies.
