Cybersecurity for mining & resources
Cube Cyber secures mining and resources operations across corporate IT and operational technology together, the industrial control systems running plant and processing, the networks connecting remote sites, and the corporate environment attackers use as the way in. With more than 10 years of OT experience and as the first Australian partner for the Industrial Defender platform, we work where an outage does not mean downtime, it means stopped production, measured by the hour.

The sector's security reality
How we help
We don't provide a generic package. We adapt established cybersecurity disciplines to the realities of this environment.
OT asset discovery and visibility
Passive, production-safe discovery of what is actually on plant networks, down to device level, the foundation for segmentation, vulnerability management and CIRMP evidence, delivered on the Industrial Defender platform.
IT/OT segmentation
Design and staged implementation of separation between corporate and operational networks aligned to IEC 62443 zones and conduits, sequenced with operations around maintenance windows, so an IT compromise cannot reach the plant.
OT vulnerability management
Risk prioritisation led by compensating controls for environments where patching rarely fits the production calendar, this device, this position, this consequence, not a CVE list forwarded to site.
Unified monitoring
Corporate IT and OT visibility in one 24/7 Australian SOC, with OT detection through passive methods and response actions that respect production absolutely.
SOCI and CIRMP support
Risk management program development and compliance evidence generated from live asset and risk data, plus incident readiness with SOCI reporting pathways mapped, so the obligation is met from operations, not reconstructed for it.
Obligations & frameworks
Work aligns to the frameworks the sector answers to: the SOCI Act and CIRMP rules for covered operators, IEC 62443 for industrial automation and control system security, the ASD Essential Eight and ISM for the corporate estate, and ISO 27001 where certification anchors the governance. Everything is planned around the operational calendar, shutdowns, maintenance windows and campaign schedules are design inputs, not obstacles.
Why resources operators choose Cube Cyber
OT is a specialisation, not a sideline
More than 10 years securing industrial control systems and operational networks, with methods built for environments where availability is measured in production hours.
First Australian Industrial Defender partner
OT asset visibility, vulnerability management and compliance evidence delivered on a platform built for industrial environments, backed by the partnership that brought it here.
One SOC across IT and OT
Corporate and plant visibility in a single 24/7 Australian service, because attackers cross that boundary and your monitoring should already be standing on it.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, and it is the first discipline of OT work. Discovery is passive, observing network traffic rather than probing devices, active work is planned with site engineering around maintenance windows, and nothing we do treats availability as negotiable. An assessment that trips a plant has failed at its own job.
It shapes it. Discovery and monitoring architectures are designed for constrained links and local resilience, deployments are coordinated with site travel and shutdown schedules, and our deployable national capability covers the geography. Remote does not mean unmonitored, it means engineered differently.
Covered operators must maintain a critical infrastructure risk management program addressing cyber hazards among others, report serious incidents within tight timeframes, and evidence the program's operation. We build the cyber elements, asset visibility, risk assessment, controls, and generate the evidence from live data, with incident reporting pathways rehearsed before they are needed.
Yes, together, because attackers treat them as one environment even when org charts do not. The corporate estate gets the full lifecycle, architecture, testing, monitoring, response, the OT estate gets OT-appropriate methods, and the boundary between them gets the most attention of all, since that is where most incidents travel.
With discovery, passively, across the acquired sites: what is on those networks, how they connect to yours, and what the integration actually joined together. Acquisitions routinely connect estates before anyone maps them, and the fastest risk reduction is usually segmentation at the new boundary while the longer program is planned from evidence.
