Abstract

Gradbeništvo je sredi digitalne preobrazbe. Ključno vlogo pri njej ima gradbeniško informacijsko modeliranje (BIM). Omogoča bolj povezano, sodelovalno in učinkovito okolje za vse faze graditve objektov. Vendar izboljšano sodelovanje in enostaven dostop do podatkov povečujeta tveganje napadov na kibernetsko varnost s strani notranjih in zunanjih povzročiteljev, kar ogroža občutljive informacije o projektu. Ta študija se osredotoča na fazo načrtovanja, saj vprašanja kibernetske varnosti v okoljih BIM v tej fazi dosegajo vrhunec zaradi velikega števila udeležencev in velikega obsega novih informacij. Čeprav obstajajo številni okvirji kibernetske varnosti, ki jih postavljajo mednarodne in nacionalne organizacije po vsem svetu, se nobeden od njih posebej ne osredotoča na fazo načrtovanja v gradbeništvu. Zato ta študija obravnava štiri splošne dokumente o kibernetski varnosti, da bi izbrala najprimernejšo možnost za BIM okolja. Izbran je Okvir za ocenjevanje kibernetske varnosti Nacionalnega centra za kibernetsko varnost (NCSC), ki je v nadaljevanju prilagojen orodjem, postopkom in zainteresiranim deležnikov iz faze načrtovanja. Opredeljena so glavna vprašanja kibernetske varnosti v kontekstu načrtovanja v BIM okolju in podana priporočila. Proti koncu študije je predlagana kibernetsko varna arhitektura izmenjave podatkov, ki uporablja tehnologijo veriženja podarkovnih blokov (blockchain) in decentraliziran pristop za shranjevanje podatkov. Prav ta decentralizirani mehanizem za shranjevanje podatkov in uporaba blockchaina tehnologije v predlagani arhitekturi pristop razlikuje od drugih študij.

Secondary abstract:	The construction industry is going through a digital transformation, and Building Information Modelling (BIM) has a vital role in the digitalisation process. It creates a more connected, collaborative, and efficient environment for all phases of construction. However, improved collaboration and easy access to data increase the risk of cybersecurity attacks from internal and external threat agents against sensitive project information. This study focuses on the design phase since cybersecurity issues in BIM environments peak in this stage with the increasing number of stakeholders involved and intensive information creation. Even though there are many cybersecurity frameworks published by international and national organisations around the world, none of them particularly focuses on the design phase of construction projects. Therefore, this study reviews four generic cybersecurity documents to select the most suitable option for adapting into the BIM environment. As a result of the review, Cyber Assessment Framework from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is selected to proceed with the adaptation considering the tools, processes, and stakeholders involved in the design phase. As a result of this adaptation, the main cybersecurity issues in the BIM-design context are identified, and suggestions are provided. In the last part of the study, a data sharing architecture that makes use of Blockchain Technology (BCT) and decentralised storage approach is proposed to manage some of the addressed cybersecurity problems. Decentralised data storage mechanism and the use of Blockchain (BC) in the proposed architecture differentiates it from previous studies.
