Hold onto your hard hats and secure your servers! In this episode of "From The Ground Up," now brought to you by TexChange Unbrokered, we're mining for insights in a realm where pickaxes meet passwords.
Join us and Rob Labbe, CEO of the Mining and Metals Information Sharing Analysis Center (MM-ISAC), as we navigate through the labyrinth of cybersecurity and the mineral and metals industry.
From Rob's journey to the landmark ransomware attack on Copper Mountain Mine, we uncover how the digital realm intersects with mineral extraction. We'll discuss the biggest cyber threats facing the mining and metals industry today, examining the vulnerabilities that exist in the digital infrastructure of mines and processing facilities, and how these vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals.
We'll also explore how the government can help to protect the industry from cyberattacks by examining current federal regulations and legislation, and exploring potential areas for improvement.
We'll discuss best practices for protecting critical infrastructure and data, including incident response planning and employee training. We'll consider the impact of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing, and the evolving nature of cyber threats as we consider what the future of cybersecurity in the mining and metals industry may hold.
If you're curious about the nexus of mining, metals, and cybersecurity, this episode promises insights from the source. Tune in for a journey from the ground up (pun intended) to the cloud!
