ESET and EVC Group have embarked on a strategic alliance aimed at bolstering Europe’s energy and cyber resilience by developing advanced battery energy storage systems. Their collaboration focuses on the CyberSec BESS initiative, which aims to introduce a new generation of cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. With battery storage systems increasingly vital to power grids and crucial energy infrastructure, the emphasis on cybersecurity has become just as critical as ensuring performance and reliability.
The partnership was solidified through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking the framework for developing, certifying, and commercializing CyberSec BESS. This initiative was officially launched on June 25, 2026, during Intersolar Europe in Munich, a prominent event in the realm of renewable energy and technologies. The project is set to align with existing and forthcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations, enhancing the long-term resilience of critical energy systems.
CyberSec BESS seeks to merge European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, ESET’s Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, underscored the importance of integrating cybersecurity from the outset in modern energy infrastructure, rather than adding it later. He noted that this initiative offers a chance to leverage ESET’s experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, thereby preparing the energy sector for both current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, emphasized that resilient energy infrastructure requires a comprehensive systems approach rather than merely combining individual technologies. He highlighted that the partnership unites engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust overall performance. These attributes are anticipated to gain importance as Europe’s energy sector continues its modernization journey.
According to Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as the largest global cybersecurity provider headquartered in Europe, providing AI-powered cybersecurity solutions across various environments. Through this collaboration, ESET aims to reinforce Europe’s energy resilience while facilitating the secure implementation of next-generation battery storage technologies.
