Incident Response Training for Mining and Metals
Description
Specialized Incident Response Training for Mining and Metals
This specialized training program adapts the ISC4ISC incident response methodology to the unique operational realities of the mining and metals sector. Participants learn how to detect, contain, and recover from cyber incidents affecting both IT and operational technology (OT) environments, including processing plants, remote operations, and integrated supply chains.
The course emphasizes sector-specific threat scenarios such as ransomware targeting production systems, disruptions to fleet management platforms, and attacks on industrial control systems supporting extraction and processing. Through practical exercises and scenario-based simulations, participants develop the skills to coordinate technical response, protect safety-critical systems, and restore operations while minimizing production and financial impact.
Designed for cybersecurity, IT, and OT professionals working in mining and metals organizations, the training strengthens incident response readiness, cross-team coordination, and resilience across the full lifecycle—from preparation and detection through recovery and lessons learned.

FAQs
- What is included with my registration?
Your registration includes access to the full Incident Response Training, participant workbook, training materials, facilitated exercises, tabletop scenario participation, and lunch.
- Who should attend this training?
This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, IT personnel, OT and industrial control system staff, incident responders, operational leaders, risk and resilience professionals, and anyone who may play a role in cyber incident response within mining and metals organizations.
- Do I need prior ICS experience?
No. The course provides an introduction to ICS concepts and applies them to cyber incident response. No previous ICS training is required.
- Do I need prior cybersecurity experience?
While familiarity with cybersecurity concepts is helpful, the course focuses on incident management and coordination rather than deep technical analysis. Participants from technical, operational, and management roles will benefit.
- What should I bring?
Participants should bring a laptop or notebook for note-taking. A digital or printed copy of your registration confirmation is recommended for check-in.
- Is the training focused on IT or Operational Technology (OT)?
Both. The course examines incident response across IT, OT, and business operations, with examples and scenarios relevant to mining and metals environments.
- How will I receive event details?
A confirmation email will be sent following registration. Additional event information, including location details and logistics.
- What makes this training different from traditional incident response training?
This course applies Incident Command System (ICS) principles directly to cyber incident response and is tailored to the operational realities of mining and metals organizations. Participants learn how to coordinate technical, operational, and leadership functions during cyber incidents affecting production, safety, and business operations.
