-**The threat** is a potential or real-life danger of making of any act (actions or inactivities) directed against the subject to protection (information resources) causing damage to the owner, owner or user, which is shown it is in danger of distortion and losses of information. +**The threat** – a potential or real-life danger of making of any act (actions or inactivities) directed against the subject to protection (information resources) causing damage to the owner or user, which is shown it is in danger of distortion and losses of information.

-In case of appearance of new information technologies and furthermore the whole information branches, there is a huge number of potential threats and vulnerabilities which shall be probed properly. Certainly, the Internet of Things did not become an exception. ((H.

-Need of more reliable measures for protection of the built-in devices IoT was confirmed with the recent research Forrester TechRadar in which use options, the business value and perspectives for 13 most important and important technologies of safety of IoT were defined. It included the main technologies, such as authentication of IoT and encoding of IoT, in addition to the appearing technologies of protection of IoT, such as detection of threats of IoT, lock of IoT and analyst of safety of IoT. You can see the most important technologies of safety of IoT in a figure below: 
  
-<figure Ref.Pic.1> +For the last few years, many widespread cyber attacks showed risks of the inadequate safety of IoT. Perhaps, the attack of “Stuxnet” aimed at the industrial programmable logic controllers (PLC) at the Iranian uranium enrichment plant became the most known. Experts read that Stuxnet destroyed up to 1000 centrifuges connected through broadband networks to the PLCs devices working under control of the Windows operating system at the PCs standard platforms.

 +In 2016 was many serious attacks directed to IoT devices. Mirai botnet became one of such attacks. This specific a bot network infected numerous IoT devices (first of all old routers and IP cameras) and then used them for superimposing of Dyn DNS provider utilising the DDoS-attack. The botnet of Mirai destroyed Etsy, GitHub, Netflix, Shopify, SoundCloud, Spotify, Twitter and some other the large websites. This piece of the malicious code used the devices using outdated versions of a kernel of Linux and relied on the fact that most users do not change names users/passwords by default on the devices.
  
 +Many companies reduce the costs of production, not including sufficient space for storage on the devices to provide updating of a kernel Linux. Because of it, kernels which include vulnerabilities work on many IoT devices. Vendors need to learn this lesson and to allow each device to update regularly kernels. Until this problem is solved, IoT devices will still suffer from the weight of exploits.
  
 +In November 2016 ((https://www.welivesecurity.com/2016/12/30/biggest-security-incidents-2016)) cybercriminals closed heating of two buildings in the city of Lappeenranta, Finland. It was the DDoS-attack; in this case, the attack allowed heating controllers to reboot the system permanently, so heating was not made. As the temperature in Finland fell below zero at this time, this attack caused very unpleasant consequences.
