In a bid to bolster Europe’s cyber and energy resilience, ESET and EVC Group have forged a strategic partnership to develop next-generation battery energy storage systems. This collaboration focuses on the creation of CyberSec BESS, a series of cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. As battery storage systems become vital in supporting power grids and critical energy infrastructure, ensuring their cybersecurity is now as crucial as their performance and reliability.
The partnership was formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), providing a framework for the development, certification, and eventual commercialization of CyberSec BESS. Officially announced on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich—a prominent event for renewable energy and storage technologies—the initiative aims to adhere to current and future European Union cybersecurity regulations, thereby 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, emphasized that battery storage is now an integral part of modern energy infrastructure and should have cybersecurity integrated from inception, not as an afterthought. He highlighted that this initiative allows ESET to apply its extensive experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure while shaping an energy sector equipped for existing and emerging cyber threats.
EVC Group’s Managing Director, Oliver Garaj, pointed out that resilient energy infrastructure relies on a comprehensive systems approach rather than merely piecing together individual technologies. The partnership aims to unite engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and high cybersecurity standards to produce battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and strong performance. These attributes are seen as increasingly vital as Europe’s energy sector continues its modernization.
According to Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as the largest global cybersecurity provider based in Europe, offering AI-driven cybersecurity solutions across various environments, including endpoints, cloud, and mobile platforms. Supported by advanced threat intelligence, encryption, multifactor authentication, and continuous monitoring, ESET’s collaboration with EVC Group seeks to enhance Europe’s energy resilience and ensure the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
