    Let’s be honest here, no system is perfect. Whether it’s devices from China, USA, or here in the UK. Even if it’s properly secure today, it might not be tomorrow. You just need to mitigate risk. There is always something. As for easy/hard to do something… that’s relatively simple in even prosumer software (nevermind Enterprise). 5 minutes in Unifi, or Pf/OpenSense, is all it takes.
