Schneier has recently argued that there is a missing market for IOT security in the sense that devices manufacturers have no incentive to patch impose external costs on society, and that this might be hard to fix without regulation.

Also - his recent book "Click Here to Kill Everybody" discusses the problem of IoT security in depth (ie. that the lack of it will risk increasingly dire consequences). One of his solutions is regulatory: a new federal agency for consumer cybersecurity. One of the particular things he would want mandated is that IoT devices be patchable, at a minimum.
