OT Service Owner for Mining Operations
One accountable owner for OT security across pits, plants, and remote facilities, independent of the OEMs and contractors who come and go with every shutdown.
What is specific to mining
Contractors change every shutdown. The owner should not.
Mining OT is touched by more third parties than almost any other sector: drill, haul, crusher, mill, and process OEMs, plus the shutdown contractors who rebuild half the plant every year. Governance that lives in one person's head or one contractor's VPN does not survive that churn. A Service Owner does.
- One access policy across every site and vendor
- Every OEM and contractor path into every site is brokered, logged, and expired under one policy owned on the operator's side. When a shutdown ends, the access ends with it, at every site, without a site-by-site cleanup.
- Change control that survives the shutdown
- Network changes made during shutdowns are recorded against the topology of record before the contractors leave, so the documentation still describes the plant on the first day of production.
- Fleet posture, reported per site
- Risk posture is reported per site against the same baseline: inventory of record, topology of record, Purdue-aligned segmentation, governed access, independent governance. A remote site is measured the same way as the flagship, and the gaps are visible to corporate.
