Contextual Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy
and EV Charging Networks

The global energy transition entails growing cybersecurity threats

Energy and power networks that were once centralized, physically air-gapped, isolated and manually operated, are now highly distributed, digital, interconnected, and increasingly reliant on software and cloud-based management systems.

Consequently, as distributed energy and EV charging sites and networks are globally deployed, new cybersecurity risks, vulnerabilities, threats and overall exposure are introduced, putting in danger the world’s energy infrastructure.

Distributed energy security risks

Unique attack surface and vulnerabilities – EV charging sites, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Distributed Energy Resources (DERs – solar panels, wind turbines), microgrids, substations etc. have inherent cyber vulnerabilities and risks that jeopardize energy and power availability, integrity, and the entire grid.

These platforms, sites, and networks represent a highly impactful target for cyber attackers and malicious perpetrators of such activities.

Distributed energy networks are not adequately cyber-secured

Direct internet connection, proprietary protocols (including OCPP, OCPI, IEEE 2030.5, DNP3, IEC 61850, OpenADR 2.0, etc.), lacking authentication and encryption, proper segmentation, and devices with known vulnerabilities are making these networks especially exposed and susceptive to cyber attacks.
