Teck Resources Limited is one of Canada's leading resource companies, with over a century of operational history since 1913. The company produces copper, zinc, and other critical minerals essential for the global energy transition, with mining operations and facilities across Canada, the United States, Chile, and Peru.
For cybersecurity professionals, the threat landscape here is defined by the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) across geographically dispersed mining and resource extraction sites. Protecting industrial control systems, metallurgy processes, and the company's RACE21™ innovation program means defending against both conventional IT risks and the unique attack surface of heavy industrial infrastructure - from remote mine sites to processing facilities spanning multiple jurisdictions and regulatory environments.
The company's stated commitment to operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and responsible mining introduces additional security requirements around data integrity, regulatory compliance, and safeguarding systems where failures carry environmental and human safety consequences. Leadership under CEO Jonathan Price, appointed in 2023, has signaled continued investment in innovation and sustainability - domains that increasingly depend on robust security architecture across both corporate and operational networks.
