The ransomware that took fown Britain's hospitals was stopped by a very lucky set of circumstances. We need to take it as a giant warning.
Tons of people mad about the ransomware piece! knew this would happen. But, stuff has to change. We are at a cars need seat-belts moment.
Let me answer a few objections. First, of course I know how enterprises make crappy decisions. I say it in the op-ed. That is one piece.
Software security has become a public health and infrastructure issue. We have been running it like "I am selling you shoes". Not working.

This is what I thought about most. Must get ppl off XP. Not supporting it while they're stuck on it isn't working.https://twitter.com/DeusExNovo/status/863728452637208577 …

I didn't say XP forever. I said figure out moving them but not with the current model of "let them sink." Kids ambulances were diverted.pic.twitter.com/U0yOp0LR4m
If we don't figure out how to make this happen, the alternatives are worse. Infrastructure will fail, lives lost. Current model not working.

Security of software has to be updated. We can't tell hospitals to junk 10 million dollar machine with XP embedded.https://twitter.com/aditi/status/863734656163651584 …

Sure, ok. But why does a 10 million dollar machine with embedded XP (or CE) sit on the same network as the machine they do email on?
I understand the Q, and usually answer is workflow or random vendor did that and updates brick stuff. Also WCry doesn't spread by email. SMB
SMB around the network, though email still likely initial vector. No excuse for no risk management in face of obsolescence.
