Building Trust in the Mining Value Chain

Learn how mining and METS organisations can strengthen trust across the value chain by managing cyber security, AI risk and digital transformation through internationally recognised standards.

About this event

Australia’s mining industry contributes more than 12% of national GDP, and its future growth increasingly depends on secure, well-governed digital transformation. As mining and METS organisations adopt autonomous fleets, industrial IoT, cloud-connected operational technology and predictive AI, they face growing exposure to ransomware, supply chain hacks, algorithmic bias and governance risk. This webinar will explore how ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 can help protect critical assets, strengthen vendor assurance and support safe, responsible innovation across the mining value chain. Participants will gain practical insight into managing IT/OT convergence, de-risking AI-enabled systems, improving procurement and supply chain confidence, and positioning compliance as a business enabler rather than an operational burden.

Key Takeaways

• Identify Critical Intersections: Understand how the rapid convergence of IT and industrial OT expands your site’s cyber-attack surface.
• De-Risk Mining AI: Learn to apply the new ISO 42001 standard to manage algorithmic bias, transparency, and safety in automated decision-making.
• Protect the METS Supply Chain: Master the process of using ISO 27001 to audit third-party vendor software and secure physical operations from external hacks.
• Justify Compliance ROI: Discover how to present cybersecurity and AI standards as business enablers that win enterprise contracts, rather than operational bottleneck
