    even more savings when you can outsource the management of such systems to remote support via public net. all kinds of savings can be had rather than have a physical presence.

    its not... at least its not supposed to be. however I have seen one such instance of water treatment plant using segregated vlans (shared switch) even though the RFP (based of regs) called for separate physical network... people try to save money or don't consider the design scenario in its entirety.

    "secured PCs that were on a closed network"
    stuxnet was propagated by usb keys which fail the closed network test.

    "security is at your communities local infrastructure"
    probably pretty low, however a closed network would be designed to not allow outside connection via the net or physical media. Even then for physical media it becomes a physical sabotage scenario rather than cyberwarfare.

    It might even be a question of parity. Just like any new thing there is a boom period for growth. Perhaps software has matured enough that a 10 year old software (i am looking at you win/office XP) is perfectly useable and thus the market for ever newer hardware will experience shrinkage.!
