Operational Technology (OT) is vital to modern mining operations, enabling automation and efficiency. However, its integration introduces cyber-physical threats from adversaries and nation-state actors. This workshop explores cybersecurity threats in the mining sector and examines attacker tactics, defender responses, and operational impacts through interactive threat scenarios and structured debriefs.

Key Topics:

• Introduction to cyber resilience in the mining sector.
• Simulation of cyber threat scenarios.
• Role definitions: attackers vs defenders.
• Attacker tactics using the cyber kill chain.
• Defender responses, lessons learned, and operational impacts.
• Challenges and Opportunities.
