How mining operations keep remote sites securely linked to head office, even when the primary connection fails.
Mining operations run remote sites, often hours from the nearest town, that depend on a single connection back to head office for reporting, safety systems and administrative traffic.
When that link drops, sites lose visibility and control until connectivity is restored, and any unmanaged access point on a remote network risks becoming an entry point for a wider security incident across the operation.
Cloud Group works closely with its extensive partner network of IT professionals and resellers to deploy iShield, a next-generation Smart Access Unified Threat Management Device, linking remote mining sites securely back to head office.
Automated multi-link failover keeps remote sites connected to head office even when the primary link drops.
Network segmentation keeps safety-critical systems isolated from general site and administrative traffic.
Site-to-head-office VPN connectivity gives teams secure access without exposing the site network to the wider internet.
Remote monitoring and reporting give head office real-time insight into every site’s connectivity and status.
Malicious behaviour and proxy blocking stop a single compromised remote site from threatening the wider network.
Centralised management lets IT partners administer every remote site without travelling out to it.
