Unfortunately, for many networks the topic of routing security becomes a priority, only after they've suffered the consequences of an incident.
In the long term, the best way to protect against this type of BGP hijacking is to require your connectivity suppliers to implement relevant security measures. Also request full incident reports after BGP hijacks through your provider have been observed.
In other words: vote with your wallet. The moment it becomes socially unacceptable to operate an Internet network without adequate protections in place, there is economic incentive to view routing security efforts as a competitive advantage rather than a nuisance.
