Utility companies face growing technology challenges. They must reduce exposure to penalties associated with NERC CIP non-compliance, and modernize distribution and transmission networks to support IP-enabled services. They must also adopt a holistic approach to security to address cyber threats and vulnerabilities related to network segmentation and data protection programs.

Although Big Data analytics presents an opportunity to improve demand forecasts, generation optimization, overall operations and customer service, most utility companies are in the lowest stages of Big Data and analytics maturity, according to IDC.
