More secure devices is something we need no matter what. If compliance tests are required, I suspect that companies will emerge to provide management and upgrade services to devices. Manufacturers won't have to care of all aspects of security and will work with them. This will lower costs because economies of scale will happen inside the service company. This is going to require some standardization on the software platforms (but many are using Linux anyway) and the update methods. But those companies will become targets or accomplices. Beware.
Second pronge. ISPs should firewall customers from within. I have a concern that this is going to be another step towards the Big Brother. I'm not an expert of networking so I can't make suggestions here but if that webcam from a long time disappeared manufacturer starts doing DDoSes, the ISP cuts it off the Internet. This is fine with me. Beware of false positives.
