ESET and EVC Group have joined forces in a strategic alliance focused on enhancing Europe’s cyber and energy resilience through the development of advanced battery energy storage systems. This collaboration is centered around the creation of CyberSec BESS, a new generation of cybersecurity-focused battery energy storage solutions tailored for the European market. As battery storage systems become crucial to supporting power grids and essential energy infrastructure, cybersecurity has emerged as a priority alongside performance and reliability.
The partnership was solidified with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), setting the stage for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. This initiative was officially unveiled on June 25, 2026, during the Intersolar Europe event in Munich, a prominent gathering dedicated to renewable energy, energy storage, and energy technologies in Europe. The project aims to comply with current and future European Union cybersecurity regulations, ensuring the long-term resilience of vital energy systems.
CyberSec BESS is designed to leverage European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification, combined with global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized that battery storage has become a critical component of modern energy infrastructure, advocating for cybersecurity integration from the outset rather than as an afterthought. He highlighted that this initiative allows ESET to apply its experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, contributing to an energy sector ready to face current and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, underscored that resilient energy infrastructure relies on a comprehensive systems approach rather than merely assembling individual technologies. He noted that the partnership brings together engineering expertise, cutting-edge energy technologies, and rigorous cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems that prioritize security, transparency, operational reliability, and robust performance. These attributes are expected to grow in importance as Europe’s energy sector continues its modernization journey.
According to Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET stands as the largest global cybersecurity provider based 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 is committed to bolstering Europe’s energy resilience while facilitating the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
