Abstract

Information security in BIM (Building Information Model) platforms is crucial, especially for mission-critical projects. Improper distribution and loss of confidential information can potentially lead to threats to physical security, financial losses, and loss of trust and reputation. The article discusses common methods of ensuring cybersecurity, potential threats, and measures to prevent them for the preparation and development of conceptual foundations for the Information Security Strategy of the process of building and structure information modeling. Tasks: 1) Identification of the most common information protection methods and identification of BIM security elements; 2) Analysis of potential cybersecurity threats for the information modeling process; 3) Consideration of common collaboration models in BIM. This work will allow developing an Information Security Strategy in BIM processes, improving the approach to ensuring an appropriate level of cybersecurity in BIM platforms, and developing universal steps for planning and implementing an effective information security strategy.
