Founded in 1909 as Calgary Power Company, TransAlta began with a singular vision: to power Alberta's growing communities through the Horseshoe Falls hydro plant. What started as a regional utility has evolved into one of Canada's largest publicly traded power generators, now delivering reliable electricity across Canada, the United States, and Western Australia. Over 115 years, TransAlta has transformed from a single hydro facility into a technology-diverse energy leader, expanding from hydro into coal, natural gas, wind, and solar generation. Today, TransAlta stands at the forefront of the energy transition, having recently combined with TransAlta Renewables to create a unified clean electricity champion. The company's journey reflects deep adaptability - building 99% of Alberta's hydro capacity by the 1950s, pioneering coal-to-gas conversions, and becoming Alberta's largest wind power producer. Guided by values of safety, innovation, sustainability, respect, and integrity, TransAlta's 1,165+ employees continue to energize the future while maintaining the responsible operational excellence that has defined the company for more than a century.

Sonepar is a €32.5 billion B2B electrical products distributor operating 90 brands across 40 countries with 46,000 associates. Founded in 1969 as a family-owned business, the company is now executing what it calls an "ambitious transformation" to build the first fully digitalized omnichannel platform in global electrical distribution - a shift that surfaces meaningful attack surface across legacy wholesale infrastructure, customer-facing e-commerce, and internal operational technology. The threat model here is decentralized by design. Ninety distinct brands means ninety potential entry points, each with its own customer portals, inventory systems, and on-premise distribution nodes spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. The company's tech stack includes Azure cloud infrastructure, Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, Epicor Eclipse ERP, Power BI analytics, and various CRM systems - a hybrid architecture common in industrial distribution but challenging to secure at scale. Customer touchpoints run over the counter, on-site, by phone, and online, which means securing both digital channels and the physical/logistical systems that fulfill orders. Security teams here likely contend with supply chain integrity issues endemic to wholesale distribution, third-party risk across a sprawling vendor ecosystem, and the operational constraints of keeping legacy systems running while migrating to cloud-native services. The digitalization push introduces modern application security concerns - API security, identity and access management across decentralized operations, and data protection for commercial customer relationships - while maintaining continuity in mission-critical distribution workflows that can't afford downtime.
