Energy in California / Bay Area
Utility platforms expanding across regulatory boundaries from California / Bay Area encounter NERC CIP, FERC, and international critical infrastructure requirements that differ in ways that require architectural attention. HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance posture does not automatically extend to new jurisdictions.
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.
