ESET and EVC Group have forged a strategic alliance to enhance Europe’s cybersecurity and energy resilience by developing next-generation battery energy storage systems. This partnership focuses on the creation of CyberSec BESS, a state-of-the-art cyber-secure battery energy storage solution specifically tailored for the European market. As battery storage systems become increasingly vital to power grids and critical energy infrastructure, prioritizing cybersecurity alongside performance and reliability has become imperative.
The partnership was solidified through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), setting the groundwork for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. Officially unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a key event for renewable energy and technology, the project is designed to comply with current and forthcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations. This initiative aims to bolster the long-term resilience of vital energy systems across the continent.
CyberSec BESS merges European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing prowess. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized that integrating cybersecurity into battery storage from inception rather than as an afterthought is crucial. Talian highlighted the opportunity this initiative provides to leverage ESET’s extensive experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure to prepare the energy sector for both current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, emphasized the necessity of a comprehensive systems approach for resilient energy infrastructure, rather than merely assembling individual technologies. Garaj explained that the partnership combines engineering expertise, cutting-edge energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are expected to gain increasing importance as Europe’s energy sector continues its modernization efforts.
According to the 2025 Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security report by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as Europe’s largest global cybersecurity provider, offering AI-driven cybersecurity solutions across various environments including endpoint, cloud, and mobile. This collaboration with EVC Group aims to fortify Europe’s energy resilience, ensuring the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
