Energy in Midwest / Chicago
Utility systems in Midwest / Chicago with NERC CIP compliance findings, FERC cybersecurity order deficiencies, or critical infrastructure protection gaps require architecture-level remediation. HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance for bulk electric systems cannot be resolved through policy documentation.
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.
