ESET and EVC Group have announced a strategic partnership to enhance Europe’s cyber and energy resilience by developing next-generation battery energy storage systems. This collaboration, known as CyberSec BESS, aims to offer cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions specifically tailored for the European market. With battery storage systems becoming crucial in supporting power grids and critical energy infrastructure, ensuring cybersecurity has become as vital as ensuring performance and reliability.
The partnership was solidified with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which sets the groundwork for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. The initiative was unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a major event focused on renewable energy, energy storage, and energy technologies. The project seeks to align with existing and forthcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations, bolstering the long-term resilience of critical energy systems.
CyberSec BESS is set to leverage European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification, alongside global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized the importance of integrating cybersecurity into battery storage from the outset rather than as an afterthought. He highlighted the opportunity for ESET to apply its experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, contributing to an energy sector robust against current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, noted that resilient energy infrastructure requires a comprehensive systems approach, rather than merely combining disparate technologies. He further explained that this partnership unites engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to produce battery storage systems prioritizing security, transparency, operational reliability, and strong performance. These attributes are anticipated to gain importance as Europe’s energy sector continues to modernize.
According to Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as the largest global cybersecurity provider headquartered in Europe. The company offers AI-driven cybersecurity solutions for businesses, individuals, and critical infrastructure across endpoint, cloud, and mobile environments, supported by advanced threat intelligence, encryption, multifactor authentication, and continuous security monitoring. Through its collaboration with EVC Group, ESET aims to bolster Europe’s energy resilience and support the secure implementation of next-generation battery storage technologies.
