The mining industry is enormous.
It’s not just big in scope—it’s deep in complexity.

14,000+ active mines.
Spread across 100+ countries.
Involving 200+ contractors per site.
Managed through spreadsheets.
That last one should scare you.

Because while automation, AI dashboards, and ERP integrations are pushing the industry forward—many mining operations are stuck holding the clipboard.

And it’s not because they don’t want to modernize.
It’s because they don’t trust the risk.

68% of mining CEOs say cyber threats are a top risk to growth.
The average cost of a data breach? $4.45M.
Third-party access is now a top concern for 75% of mining firms.

But here's the truth no one talks about:

Because account takeover doesn’t start with malware.
It starts with login credentials.
And insider abuse? That’s not a system flaw—it’s a trust flaw.

CrossClassify solves this by watching how people behave, not just what they access.
We use User Behavior Analytics and Continuous Monitoring to catch threats before they turn into breaches—enabling digital transformation without the security gamble.

If mining is going to evolve, it needs to evolve securely.
