ESET has teamed up with EVC Group in a strategic alliance aimed at bolstering Europe’s cyber and energy resilience. Their collaboration focuses on the development of CyberSec BESS, a new generation of cyber-secure battery energy storage systems tailored for the European market. This move is particularly significant as battery storage systems become increasingly vital to supporting power grids and critical energy infrastructure, where cybersecurity now stands as a top priority alongside performance and reliability.
The partnership was officially cemented through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), outlining a plan for the development, certification, and market introduction of CyberSec BESS. This initiative was unveiled on 25 June 2026 at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a prominent event dedicated to renewable energy and related technologies. The project seeks to comply with current and future European Union cybersecurity regulations, reinforcing the long-term resilience of essential energy systems.
CyberSec BESS is set to integrate European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing prowess. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized the importance of embedding cybersecurity into battery storage from the outset, rather than retrofitting it later. He highlighted this initiative as an opportunity for ESET to leverage its experience in securing critical infrastructure, contributing to an energy sector equipped to handle both current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, pointed out that resilient energy infrastructure relies on a comprehensive systems approach rather than merely assembling individual technologies. He noted that the partnership combines engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems characterized by security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are anticipated to gain increasing importance as Europe’s energy sector continues to evolve.
