Why do it alone? Cyber security should be an industry-wide effort.

To foster broad industry collaboration, the MM-ISAC Annual General Conference welcomes participants from across the global mining and metals sector who are committed to enhancing the cyber security and resiliency of their operations. While the event is open to the broader industry, MM-ISAC members benefit most, with dedicated opportunities to engage face-to-face with peers, share insights, and build lasting professional relationships.

Attendees will experience thought-provoking presentations tailored specifically to mining and metals organizations. Topics will include:

  • Lessons learned from real-world cyber incidents

  • Threat modeling for AI and autonomous systems

  • Securing connected and remote mining operations

  • Best-in-class workforce engagement strategies

  • Building cyber-resilient supply chains

Keynote speakers from leading cyber security firms will share actionable intelligence and explore how cutting-edge solutions can be effectively applied in a mining context.

Cyber security is built on trusted relationships.

MM-ISAC members must be able to rely on one another not only during times of crisis but also to proactively strengthen our collective defenses. This conference is designed to foster those relationships, with collaborative workshops and roundtables held exclusively in person to ensure meaningful dialogue and trust-building.

While the event offers hybrid participation, in-person attendance is strongly encouraged. There is no substitute for the direct connections, real-time collaboration, and professional growth that come from being in the room together. Let’s make the time to advance both our network and our shared knowledge.

Who should Attend?

The MM-ISAC Annual General Conference is tailored for professionals across the global mining and metals industry who are responsible for or invested in cyber security and operational resilience.
