Security considerations in the mining sector

Speakers: Aleck Burrell, Hal Huff and Jo Anne Raymond

Organisational resilience is the concept of how an organisation can/should anticipate, prepare, respond and recover. Essentially it is the structure and discipline as to how Enterprise Risk Management, Crisis Management, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity all fit together. The presentation will include update on the global threat and will touch on how companies can think more laterally and completely about their concerns and exposures to effectively manage risks while staying focus on opportunities and meeting objectives.
