Schneier's thought on the Internet of Things - Security

This is just a quote on Schneier's online article:
"On the Internet of Things, integrity and availability threats are much worse than confidentiality threats. It's one thing if your smart door lock can be eavesdropped upon to know who is home. It's another thing entirely if it can be hacked to allow a burglar to open the door -- or prevent you from opening your door. A hacker who can deny you control of your car, or take over control, is much more dangerous than one who can eavesdrop on your conversations or track your car's location"

IoT the "man" behind Friday hack

So as I initially suspected that this new buzz of Internet of Things with companies setting up DevOps and equipping their departments, there would soon be a security issue behind this.
Last Friday hack had this IoT behind its hack: Twitter, Spotify and Paypal were affected.

How it worked
The attack was targeted at Dyn a company for helping hi-traffic websites and this affected other companies. The attack came from an IoT device and caused a DDOS attack on Dyn's DNS. This was successfully done using botnets.

I remember studying this at University it was one interesting topic for me. Also heartbleed attack has a relationship with this.

How can this be solved
If you have an idea please share, I'll share mine when I fully understand the IoT environment.
