In recent years, the digital transformation has revolutionised the way mining companies operate.
Delivering a multitude of benefits, including reduced costs and improved operational performance, introducing digital solutions is a no-brainer.
However, an aspect of digitisation that isn't widely discussed in the Australian mining industry is cybersecurity. This is something Brennan is working to change.
Drawing on extensive experience in the mining sector and boasting over 27 years of IT expertise, Brennan has evolved into one of Australia's leading and independently owned systems integrator.
With cybersecurity woven across their business and within their solutions, Brennan understands that improved technology availability has created more opportunities for threat actors to interfere with mining operations.
"With mining companies increasingly using technology to manage their operations, they're effectively becoming technology companies," Peter Soulsby, Brennan's head of security, told Australian Mining.
"The challenge with that is more technology means more opportunities for disruption.
"Disruptions can take many forms. They can be the unintentional kind, created by users, employees or contractors. Or they can be intentional, created by threat actors such as hackers.
