In a significant move to bolster Europe’s cyber and energy resilience, ESET and EVC Group have forged a strategic partnership to develop advanced battery energy storage systems. This collaboration aims to introduce CyberSec BESS, a range of cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. As the role of battery storage systems becomes more crucial in supporting power grids and critical energy infrastructure, the importance of incorporating cybersecurity alongside performance and reliability has never been more paramount.
The partnership was cemented with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which outlines the framework for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. Officially unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a premier event for renewable energy and technology, the project is designed to align with both current and forthcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations. The initiative aims to enhance the long-term resilience of Europe’s critical energy systems.
CyberSec BESS will leverage European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification, combined with global battery manufacturing capabilities. ESET’s Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, Martin Talian, emphasized the necessity of integrating cybersecurity into battery storage systems from inception rather than as an afterthought. He highlighted this initiative as an opportunity for ESET to utilize its extensive experience in protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring the energy sector is well-equipped against both existing and future cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, underscored the need for a comprehensive systems approach to create resilient energy infrastructure. He explained that the partnership is poised to bring together engineering expertise, cutting-edge energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity measures. The resulting battery storage systems are expected to prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance, qualities that will be increasingly vital as Europe’s energy sector evolves.
ESET, recognized as the largest global cybersecurity provider headquartered in Europe by Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, offers AI-driven cybersecurity solutions for a wide array of environments. Through this partnership with EVC Group, ESET seeks to enhance Europe’s energy resilience, facilitating the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
