The easiest way for an ISP to protect unsuspecting customers is to implement PAT for their traffic. Then they just obtain an internal IP address to initiate their traffic, but they cannot be hassled anymore with incoming attacks.
There are many possibilities, including implementing honeypot. It will help reduce attacks on production/ actual network and will help develop intelligence to prevent future attacks,etc.
There are different works and responsibilities for ISP's, if think for simple application of a computer or integrated device it can only filter the carrier level and protect the device that serves by ISP but the device couldn't not protect itself.Like nest's server or automated polling system so that each application know what to deal with.For ex- a website like amazon.com can check or follow which comments or commands are hit most of the times.But if it do in the same time the customer should know to deal with the service within his/her using network area.May be then the IOT device will remain secure.In recent future IOT will develop more I personally think.
