A hurricane releases between 50 trillion and 200 trillion watts of heat energy. The majority of a hurricane's energy is stored as heat and released when water vapor turns into rain. #FunFactFriday is brought to you by Oracle Utilities.

Check out the LineDrone project submitted to the Centre of Excellence by Hydro-Québec. The new drone is used to inspect high-voltage lines and can make a semi-autonomous landing using an on-board peripheral vision device. The vision system enables the drone to detect and recognize electrical conductors. This innovation provides invaluable support to the operator to ensure a safe deployment of the drone on the conductors. Learn More: https://bit.ly/3nHPdtx

TOMORROW on the CEA Conversation Series: Cloud Security A new breed of Tools and Skillset presented by Long View Systems. Organizations continue to move to the cloud. The reasons are many but most commonly is to offload the burden of supporting those feature rich yet commodity applications so your employees can stay focused on propelling your business. Regardless, the cloud is not inherently secure! Historically, legacy systems had their computer rooms with a security strategy primarily based upon securing the perimeter from the outside world. In the cloud everything is on the outside and exposed to the Internet. All of the same security risks and threats exist in the cloud as they do on-prem but a new breed of tools and skillsets are required to secure your cloud investments.
