In a bid to enhance Europe’s cyber and energy resilience, ESET and EVC Group have joined forces to develop advanced battery energy storage systems. This strategic partnership aims to introduce CyberSec BESS, a cutting-edge solution designed to bolster cybersecurity within battery storage technologies for the European market. As battery storage systems become vital to the stability of power grids and critical energy infrastructures, ensuring their cybersecurity alongside performance and reliability has become increasingly crucial.
The collaboration was solidified with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), outlining the framework for developing, certifying, and commercializing CyberSec BESS. This initiative was unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a premier event focused on renewable energy and related technologies. The project aims to comply with existing and upcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations, thereby fortifying the long-term resilience of critical energy systems across the continent.
CyberSec BESS seeks to merge European competencies in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing prowess. Martin Talian, ESET’s Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, emphasized the importance of integrating cybersecurity from the outset of battery storage development. He highlighted that this initiative allows ESET to leverage its extensive experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, ultimately contributing to an energy sector equipped to handle both current and future cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, stressed the necessity of a comprehensive systems approach to ensure resilient energy infrastructure, rather than merely aggregating individual technologies. He noted that the partnership combines engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards, resulting in battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are deemed essential as Europe’s energy sector continues to evolve and modernize.
According to the Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as the largest global cybersecurity provider headquartered in Europe, offering AI-driven solutions for businesses, individuals, and critical infrastructure across various environments. By collaborating with EVC Group, ESET aims to fortify Europe’s energy resilience and facilitate the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
