Foster an environment where information about threats and vulnerabilities is openly shared among all participants in the mining ecosystem. Rapid identification and effective mitigation of threats are crucial to the sector’s resilience.
In a hyperconnected industry, digital connections with suppliers can exceed hundreds of active connections. This situation expands the effective attack surface and makes working with the supply chain a fundamental effort. Even when there are no digital connections, the vulnerabilities of mining suppliers can affect the information and defensive robustness of the sector.
CCMIN works as a fundamental pillar in raising awareness among the mining workforce on cybersecurity matters, helping to develop a security culture throughout the sector. This includes: sharing and disseminating best practices across the sector, and specialized awareness initiatives for executives and technical staff. Ensuring that everyone understands and can manage cyber risks, thereby raising awareness and education about cybersecurity risks.
Regulation is the framework under which local industries operate in operational matters, including those related to cybersecurity. Active and proactive coordination with the regulator for better compliance with regulatory aspects is a fundamental process, especially in highly technical sectors.
Notwithstanding international collaboration, in various aspects — ranging from regulatory to technical matters — specific local coordination needs will arise. CCMIN promotes and facilitates such coordination to support the growth of a more cyber-secure and resilient sector.
