ESET and EVC Group have embarked on a strategic initiative to bolster Europe’s cyber and energy resilience by advancing next-generation battery energy storage systems. This partnership is centered around the development of CyberSec BESS, a new line of cyber-secure battery storage solutions tailored specifically for the European market. As battery storage systems become increasingly vital to power grids and critical energy infrastructure, the focus on cybersecurity has become as crucial as performance and reliability.
The collaboration was officially established through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which outlines the framework for developing, certifying, and marketing CyberSec BESS. The partnership was unveiled at Intersolar Europe in Munich on 25 June 2026, a prominent event dedicated to renewable energy and technology in Europe. The project aims to comply with both current and future European Union cybersecurity regulations, reinforcing the long-term resilience of essential energy systems.
CyberSec BESS will integrate European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, ESET’s Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, emphasized the growing importance of battery storage in modern energy infrastructure, advocating for cybersecurity measures to be integrated from the initial stages rather than as an afterthought. Talian noted that this initiative allows ESET to leverage its experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure while contributing to an energy sector that is increasingly prepared for both current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, highlighted the necessity of a comprehensive systems approach to resilient energy infrastructure, rather than merely combining disparate technologies. The partnership, he explained, unites engineering expertise, state-of-the-art energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and overall performance. These attributes are expected to become even more critical as Europe’s energy sector continues to evolve.
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-powered cybersecurity solutions 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 enhance Europe’s energy resilience and advance the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
