The demand for infrastructure is ever-increasing. Cybersecurity and BIM join together to open better smart building operations as cybersecurity needs to be a cornerstone for all IoT solutions and deployments.  

FREMONT, CA: Smart buildings are more connected and interactive. Intelligent building solutions have stimulated the interest of building owners today. Hence, Cybersecurity is a best-discussed topic. Companies are investing in cybersecurity to avoid data breaches and threats. This is an investment that will define the future of a company and the trajectory of intelligent building security solutions.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is another trend in smart buildings. BIM is a process supported by various tools and technologies involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. These are files often contain proprietary formats, containing exclusive data which can be extracted, exchanged, or networked to support decision-making regarding a built asset. It helps in making building lifecycle data accessible and usable by various stakeholders. This will improve all processes involved in building and operating a structure.

There has been a report that examines the cybersecurity landscape for intelligent buildings and the general implications of the increased Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. Industries can determine the vulnerabilities of the company and commit to educating enterprise teams about these vulnerabilities. Stakeholders should take a layered approach to cybersecurity by building a cyber threat alliance that could further strengthen their line of defense. If these steps and advice are followed accordingly, the cybersecurity for intelligent buildings market will respond by demonstrating steady and consistent growth shortly.

BIM-cybersecurity combination plays a significant role in accelerating the transformation of buildings into optimized and intelligent structures. It adds value that can support more prominent roles as data falling into the wrong hands is a significant risk. Businesses grow more connected, and organizations expect more data about processes and collaborative tools. Intelligent buildings will become the norm of the generation.
