Managing Risk, Creating Resilient Networks and Improving Security Culture
In today’s technological world, mining companies are struggling to keep up with developing threats. Many organisations are overwhelmed with the speed and velocity at which threats are emerging and are only implementing short-term fixes. According to Ernst & Young’s Global Information Security Survey 2012, over three-quarters of organisations have reported an increase in the amount of external attacks they’re experiencing, as well as 63% admitting that presently they don’t have a security architecture framework employed.
Mining IQ’s Network Security in Mining 2013 event will address the proactive measures which need to be implemented to ensure your mining operation networks are secure. Furthermore the conference will include presentations from mining and resource companies that examine the people, the processes and the underpinning technology which can protect your operations and business opportunities.
The mining industry’s contribution to the Australian economy means that it is a target to foreign state-based hackers. Your cyber networks contain valuable information around policies, intellectual property, as well as what you’ve been working on – all of which is of value to your customers, hackers, hacktivists, and criminal syndicates.
Ensure you’re prepared for the changes which the mining industry is experiencing and attend the Network Security in Mining 2013 event.
What will feature in Network Security in Mining 2013?
Having completed research with over 60+ industry professionals in mining network security, we’ve developed an event that will focus on:
- Policies & Procedures to Improve Security and Staff Awareness
- Dealing with the Support and Management Issues around Separation of Networks
- Mobile Device Management on the Mine Site
- Network Security – The Law Enforcement Perspective
- Implementing and Managing SCADA and Wayside Devices
The comprehensive program will give you exposure to a range of stakeholders involved in the security of critical business information through to the security of control platforms. The focus of the event will be on improving security, implementing risk management, and ensuring that if an attack were to occur you could mitigate its effects.

What Other Activities Can you Be Involved in To Maximise Your Experience and Learning Opportunities at the Event?:
This year we’ve included one workshop which has been designed to be a more in-depth learning experience where a smaller group of individuals are led by an expert facilitator. People choose to attend these workshops as they allow participants more “one-on-one” time with the presenter, and give attendees the chance to workshop through an activity, challenge or task. This type of guided learning supplements the plenary program and helps to get your cognitive mind working!
Workshop A: 18th June, Wednesday, 07.00-10.00
