Securing OT Systems in Mine, Rail and Port Integration
Integrated mine-to-port supply chains couple three demanding operational technology (OT) domains — mine automation, rail transport, and port handling — into a single, interdependent system. This white paper presents a reference approach to securing that integrated environment: the OT landscape and its convergence risks, a zones-and-conduits architecture spanning all three domains, controls for identity, monitoring, resilience and governance, and a phased roadmap aligned to IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82.

Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) arrangements increasingly place a vendor’s Process Control System (PCS) application on the customer’s own virtualized server and storage — co-resident with other PCS applications inside an OT mine domain. This white paper sets out a reference approach to doing so safely: the deployment topology, a shared-responsibility model, virtualization and storage isolation, network segmentation, the Active Directory domain-join decision, credential and privileged-access management, data ownership and interfaces, wired and OT-wireless connectivity, a structured risk analysis, security controls aligned to IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, and a disciplined Transfer plan.
