couple of questions
It's awesome that folks in IT security are making such a great effort to work with the various IoT companies etc as it's a Pandora's Box that needs to be addressed.

That said....

Q1 - I'm curious though if there are any initiatives in the works to work with these IoT companies when it comes to interacting with security researchers (outside said company/ies), their response and reaction to bugs, exploits, zero days etc that are brought to their attention especially in good faith. 

And

Q2 - Once informed, how to categorize and address the disclosed issue within the company. Is it a "stop everything and get this fixed asap" issue because said company may have early beta equipment in-use in the wild (customers) and may feel the issue is enough of a threat to apply most of their resources to fixing said issue (at least those resources necessary to address the issue) even if it means taking those resources away from their current work (perhaps in the midst of meeting a deadline?) I realize it's all contextual and we could all come up with 100 different scenarios but it should be noted that a lot of start-ups are going to be riding a fine line with deadlines, money, perception etc and likely won't be able to weather a misstep quite as well as the larger more established companies.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
