Abstract

There is no doubt that the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to develop rapidly, causing the rapid adoption of advanced IoT technologies. The networking paradigm affects all areas of life, from automated homes to smart health systems and environmental monitoring, integrating intelligence into all aspects of the world's environment. The implementation of IoT requires significant efforts and modern security and privacy solutions.
To date, intelligent control systems have become quite widespread in all spheres of human life, from household to industry. Considering this, the volume of information in data transmission networks is also increasing. At the same time, such management systems are developing rather chaotically and do not have general standardization, and their developers do not yet pay much attention to methods and methods of protection. Information systems such as IoT still have a large number of disadvantages, despite the high popularity and use of modern technologies in development.
Since the Internet of Things includes devices that constantly collect and process information about the environment, they are potentially dangerous for the end user. Given the growing level of cybercrime, special attention should be paid to such devices, because not only data loss is the main problem. It is also possible to use computing resources of systems in the design of various cyber attacks.
The disadvantages of these systems are the need for modern sensors, controllers, methods and methods of information transmission, etc. Therefore, the introduction of IoT devices and the solution of the most common tasks and problems related to them is a very relevant area of research.
Many researchers around the world are dealing with security issues in the Internet of Things today, especially due to a number of problems that arise in the operation of IoT devices. The article discusses issues of providing access to secure networks of IoT devices. The existence of a large number of poorly protected devices facilitates DDoS attacks, in which household devices can be used to attack corporate systems. Some possible threats to the security of IoT systems are also considered. Based on the analysis of the most common attack technologies, a list of recommendations was developed to ensure the integrity of the network with IoT devices [1].
