ESET has teamed up with EVC Group in a strategic collaboration to bolster Europe’s cyber and energy resilience through the creation of next-generation battery energy storage systems. Their joint effort focuses on developing CyberSec BESS, a new line of cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. This partnership arises as battery storage systems become increasingly vital in sustaining power grids and crucial energy infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity alongside performance and reliability.
The formalization of this partnership was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which outlines the framework for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. This initiative was presented on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a premier event dedicated to renewable energy, energy storage, and energy technologies. The project is designed to conform to current and future cybersecurity regulations in the European Union, thereby enhancing the long-term resilience of critical energy systems.
CyberSec BESS aims to blend European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, ESET’s Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, highlighted that battery storage is now an integral component of contemporary energy infrastructure and should be developed with cybersecurity as a foundational element. He emphasized that this initiative leverages ESET’s extensive experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, contributing to the creation of an energy sector well-equipped to counteract both current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, noted the importance of a comprehensive systems approach in building resilient energy infrastructure, rather than merely combining separate technologies. He explained that this partnership unites engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards, resulting in battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are expected to become increasingly crucial as Europe’s energy sector undergoes modernization.
According to the 2025 Frost Radar™ report by Frost & Sullivan, ESET ranks as the largest global cybersecurity provider headquartered in Europe. The company offers AI-enhanced cybersecurity solutions tailored for businesses, individuals, and critical infrastructure across endpoint, cloud, and mobile environments, backed by advanced threat intelligence, encryption, multifactor authentication, and continuous security monitoring. Through its collaboration with EVC Group, ESET seeks to enhance Europe’s energy resilience while ensuring the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
