In a significant move to bolster Europe’s cyber and energy resilience, ESET and EVC Group have announced a strategic partnership to develop next-generation battery energy storage systems. This collaboration aims to create CyberSec BESS, a cutting-edge generation of cyber-secure battery storage solutions tailored for the European market. As the role of battery storage systems becomes crucial in supporting power grids and critical energy infrastructure, cybersecurity is being prioritized alongside performance and reliability.
The partnership was cemented with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which outlines the framework for the development, certification, and commercialization of CyberSec BESS. The initiative was unveiled on June 25, 2026, at Intersolar Europe in Munich, a prominent event focused on renewable energy, energy storage, and energy technologies. The project is designed to comply with current and future European Union cybersecurity regulations, enhancing the long-term resilience of vital energy systems.
CyberSec BESS aims to merge European expertise in cybersecurity, system integration, and certification with global battery manufacturing capabilities. Martin Talian, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer at ESET, emphasized that battery storage has become an integral component of modern energy infrastructure and should have cybersecurity integrated from the outset. Talian highlighted the opportunity to leverage ESET’s experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure to prepare the energy sector for present and emerging cyber threats.
Oliver Garaj, Managing Director of EVC Group, noted that robust energy infrastructure requires a comprehensive systems approach rather than merely combining individual technologies. He stated that the partnership unites engineering expertise, advanced energy technologies, and stringent cybersecurity standards to deliver battery storage systems that focus on security, transparency, operational reliability, and strong overall performance. The companies assert that these attributes will be increasingly vital as Europe’s energy sector continues to evolve.
According to Frost Radar™: Endpoint Security, 2025 by Frost & Sullivan, ESET is recognized 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, backed by advanced threat intelligence, encryption, multifactor authentication, and continuous security monitoring. Through its partnership with EVC Group, ESET endeavors to enhance Europe’s energy resilience while facilitating the secure deployment of next-generation battery storage technologies.
