ДИГИТАЛИЗАЦИЯ НА КУЛТУРНОТО НАСЛЕДСТВО КАТО ЧАСТ ОТ СИСТЕМАТА ЗА КИБЕРСИГУРНОСТ
DIGITISATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE AS PART OF THE CYBERSECURITY SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: The digitisation of cultural heritage has traditionally been viewed as a technological and cultural-policy process involving the selection of objects, photographing/scanning, description through metadata, storage, and the provision of access. In today’s environment, however, digitisation is also becoming an element of the cybersecurity and cyber-resilience system of institutions that manage cultural assets (museums, libraries, archives, research units, and administrative bodies). The reason is twofold: digital copies and their associated metadata are high-value information assets exposed to cyber risks, and, in addition, the digitisation process itself introduces dependencies along the supply chain. The digitisation of cultural heritage should be designed and managed as a „secure digital chain of custody and trustworthiness” – from the initial digital capture (scan/photograph/3D model) to long-term archival preservation and public access. The scientific and practical significance of the article lies in the fact that it offers an operationalised bridge between cultural-heritage digitisation and cybersecurity, where digital collections are treated as critical assets and cybersecurity controls are selected not abstractly, but in accordance with the lifecycle of the digital object and the applicable regulatory constraints. The conclusion is that institutions should move toward „digitisation as a continuous, secure, and legally compliant process“, in which proven authenticity and resilient availability are on a par with public access.
