ESET and EVC Group have announced a strategic alliance to enhance cyber and energy resilience across Europe by developing advanced battery energy storage systems. The collaboration is centered on the creation of CyberSec BESS, a new line of cyber-secure battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. This partnership highlights the growing importance of battery storage systems in supporting power grids and essential energy infrastructure, with cybersecurity becoming as crucial as performance and reliability.
The partnership was solidified with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which lays the groundwork for developing, certifying, and commercializing CyberSec BESS. This initiative was unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a premier event focused on renewable energy, energy storage, and technology. The project aims to meet current and upcoming European Union cybersecurity regulations, bolstering the long-term resilience of critical energy systems.
CyberSec BESS will leverage European strengths in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification while incorporating global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized that battery storage is a vital component of modern energy infrastructure, advocating for cybersecurity to be integrated from the start rather than added as an afterthought. This initiative allows ESET to apply its expertise in safeguarding critical infrastructure, contributing to an energy sector prepared for both current and future cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, underscored that resilient energy infrastructure requires a holistic systems approach rather than merely combining individual technologies. The collaboration brings together engineering expertise, cutting-edge energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to create battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are expected to become increasingly significant as Europe’s energy sector continues to evolve.
According to the Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 report 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 partnership with EVC Group, ESET aims to bolster Europe’s energy resilience while facilitating the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
