Hope that White Hats publish? The zero-click exploits have to be patched by Apple after they've been exposed. It all depends who finds it and when.

Really not much you can do with zero-clicks.

Don't be rich or famous I guess? Or don't use smartphones.

A proper bug bounty program facilitates that, however, it seems that Apple has mismanaged theirs to the effect that it drives frustrated researchers to not report their findings to Apple.
