Cybersecurity in Mining – Thematic Research
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The global cybersecurity market size was $125.6 billion in 2020. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9% during the period 2020-2025. Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. The IoT sensors, augmented reality (AR) devices, autonomous vehicles, and drones that improve mining operations are equally capable of halting activity if they fall prey to cyberattacks. The operational technology (OT) networks of mining operations are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their lower security maturity than corporate networks.

What are the key value chains in cybersecurity in mining industry?
The key value chain in cybersecurity in mining industry are cybersecurity hardware, cybersecurity software, and cybersecurity services.
Cybersecurity Hardware
With chips now being used in mission-critical servers and safety-critical applications, protecting chips from cyberattacks is becoming more critical and more expensive. Systems vendors such as Apple and Amazon are increasingly designing their own chips rather than buying commercially developed devices and intellectual property (IP) created by third-party developers. These vendors are developing their own ecosystems and requirements, and security is a key concern.
Cybersecurity Software
The software element of our cybersecurity value chain comprises the following areas: identity management, network security, endpoint security, threat detection and response, cloud security, data security, email security, application security, unified threat management, and vulnerability management.
Cybersecurity Services
The services element of the cybersecurity value chain comprises the following areas: managed security services, post-breach response services, and risk and compliance services. Services are typically outsourced because of the complexity of addressing cybersecurity-related issues, such as staying on top of vulnerabilities, identifying and responding to threats, and meeting compliance requirements.
