The solution he has in mind includes reputation-based routing by the service provider but also more secure endpoint devices and greater consumer awareness.

Once consumers start taking notice and securing their devices and putting public awareness back to the manufacturers to build in better security, things should gradually improve for the years ahead when the expansion of IoT devices will be greatly more in use everywhere.

At that time, there were a number of proposals floated for trusted email sender programs. Makes sense that there should be parallels -- spam is a kind of DOS attack. As for securing the IoT: Industry pressure is necessary but not sufficient. Naming and shaming won't get vendors and operators to secure their products and networks. That requires laws and regulations.
