CSKH-01.2018 - (Abstract) - The paper investigates the causes of widespread use by cybercriminals of the Internet of Things for organizing network attacks and other illegal use. An analysis of existing approaches and technologies for protecting networked computer devices is presented, as well as the main factors that prevent their use in the world of Internet of Things. An approach is suggested that ensures the integration of protective mechanisms directly into the composition of Things. Various variants of technology implementation are considered. Key aspects and potential ways of implementing the proposed approach are noted.
