The Smart Buildings Alliance unveils a new white paper on the cybersecurity of tertiary buildings

The Smart Buildings Alliance (SBA), a professional association that works daily to address the challenges of the building and the city of tomorrow, has published a new white paper dedicated to "the cybersecurity of tertiary buildings".

Integrity and availability of data, confidentiality, digital ethics, individual freedom: in a hyperconnected world where infrastructures interact with each other, the design, construction and operation of smart buildings today require a more demanding and more overall.

In a context where cyberattacks are on the rise, the SBA takes stock of the current state of the tools and methods available to professionals to strengthen the cybersecurity of their building projects. Through this new collective work, she sheds light on the best practices to implement to integrate the cybersecurity dimension at the heart of the success of a smart building project.

With the rise of the smart building, the building is transformed into a platform of digital services intended to ensure the comfort and safety of the occupants, to optimize spaces, to improve energy efficiency and safety. At the same time, connected objects and digital devices make this smart building more "talkative", generating a large amount of usage data and as much content and potential targets to protect. If technological innovations aim to improve the real estate value and the attractiveness of a building, they simultaneously precipitate cyber threats on the front of the stage. A new page is opening for real estate, the advent of "Cyber Smart Buildings"...

An essential cybersecurity strategy for smart buildings

To protect users and their personal data from digital risks, such as internal or external threats to which they are exposed, the implementation of a strategy to prevent the risks inherent in the digitization of buildings has now become essential. The digital transformation that the real estate sector is undergoing must therefore be accompanied by a holistic approach to cybersecurity. But where to start ? How to do it ? To which actors to turn?

Property companies, landlords, local authorities, industrialists, experts and business leaders have come together within the SBA's "Cyber building" commission, to share a common language, and combine technologies, uses and professions. Fruit of their collective work, this white paper on the cybersecurity of tertiary buildings will allow all the actors concerned by the subject of cybersecurity to better understand its concepts and its use cases.
