By employing robust safeguards such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and secure communication protocols, mining and metals companies can ensure that sensitive information such as geological surveys remains secure.
Industrial Control System (ICS)
Industrial control systems used to manage processes within mining operations can be vulnerable to attacks made with the aim to cause physical damage to equipment, stop and/or manipulate processes, and disrupt operations.
Phishing and Social Engineering
Phishing campaigns are used to gain access to sensitive data by tricking the user and convincing them to click on malicious links. Once compromised the business can be held to ransom.
Supply Chain Attacks
Mining companies rely on a series of contractors and suppliers for their processes. A bad actor will aim to infiltrate a system of a third party and work their way across to the organizations of choice, compromising systems as they go.
Effective security always comes down to three key elements. Processes, people, and technology.
Processes must run seamlessly alongside the organization. Security experts must have the capability to detect, react, and understand the context of a risk. And the technology must be superior, to keep up with cyber threats. All elements are equally as important, and you must have all three to ensure security
