How Do You Protect Cyber-Physical Systems Across Global Mining Operations?

The Claroty Platform powered by Claroty Claire™ — the industry’s first CPS-native AI agent — secures mining cyber-physical systems (CPS) with comprehensive asset discovery, automated exposure management, and Zero Trust remote access to guarantee operational resilience, eliminate downtime, and reduce your risk profile across remote production sites.

The Challenge: Managing Operational Complexity and Threat Landscapes in Mining

As autonomous haulage, predictive analytics, and AI-driven extraction extend connectivity across remote physical environments, the attack surface grows in parallel. Traditional mining resilience was engineered around physical safety and standard IT perimeter defenses. Today, threat actors recognize that critical vulnerabilities lie at the interface between enterprise IT, legacy OT, and geographically dispersed extraction machinery.

Contending with these pressures includes the following critical mining challenges:

  • Extraction facilities rely heavily on legacy equipment and unpatchable firmware that lack native cybersecurity controls.

  • Securing operations across dozens of remote environments from a central SOC complicates incident response and threat monitoring.

  • System halts disrupt production loops, resulting in millions in unrecoverable daily losses.

  • Maintenance contractors and OEMs frequently connect via unmonitored, always-on VPNs.

  • Expanding IT/OT integration creates lateral pathways for cyber threats to move from corporate networks directly into PLCs and automated machinery.

  • Generic AI tools lack operational context, threatening production uptime if they recommend standard IT remediation steps on fragile plant-floor hardware.

Protecting the Mining Cyber-Physical Ecosystem with Claroty

By safeguarding the CPS that keep continuous extraction, processing, and logistics running safely, Claroty delivers total visibility across pit-to-port automation networks.

Guarantee Operational Resilience & Production Uptime

  • Unify SOC and Operations Teams: Establish a single risk framework between central SOC teams and site-level OT operators to accelerate incident response without disrupting active extraction loops. Claroty’s embedded AI acts as a single source of operational truth, translating complex technical alerts into safe, optimized plant workflows.

  • Isolate Mining Control Zones: Separate site operational networks from enterprise IT to prevent corporate-level malware from moving laterally into critical control systems. Claroty accelerates network defense using AI-powered asset zones and policy groups to enable virtual segmentation.

  • Behavioral & Anomaly Monitoring: Continuously monitor industrial control networks using deep packet inspection (DPI) to detect unauthorized changes to PLCs or altered telemetry before an emergency halt occurs.

Maximize Operational Efficiency & Maintain Asset Lifecycles

  • Downtime-free Asset Discovery: Discover and profile all OT, IoT, and IIoT assets across disparate sites with zero disruption to continuous production processes. Claroty’s AI-driven data leverages the industry’s first CPS Library to instantly create a CPS-ID, resolving imprecise, conflicting, or hidden device signatures.

  • Secure Remote Access: Eliminate risky vendor VPNs with a purpose-built, Zero Trust solution that ensures contractor and vendor access is time-bound, role-based, and fully audited.

  • Compensating Controls for Legacy Infrastructure: Extend the operating lifecycle of legacy crushers, sorters, and haulage equipment by surrounding unpatchable assets with virtual segmentation and real-time risk tracking. Claroty maps device profiles and automatically surfaces AI-driven recommendations via Exposure Management.

Ensure Safety, Regulatory Compliance, and Governance

  • Automated Compliance Reporting: Eliminate manual auditing processes by automatically mapping OT/ICS assets and security controls to global standards and regional CNI regulatory frameworks.

  • Centralized Multi-Site Governance: Consolidate security insights from dozens of remote production sites into a single interface via the Enterprise Management Console (EMC) for unified risk management.

  • Board-Ready Executive Dashboards: Translate technical CPS vulnerabilities into prioritized risk metrics that enable leadership to make data-driven security investments and satisfy insurance underwriters. Claroty enables AI-powered natural-language dashboard and report building, equipping plant managers with clear metrics.
