1,162 cyberattacks on utilities in 2024 — 70% increase year over year. Grid vulnerability points growing by 60 per day. $174B in capital expenditure with 'patchy returns' on digital transformation. Utilities are spending massively and getting mediocre results from legacy vendors and Big 4 consultants.
