Secure Asset Visibility
Access real-time system data while maintaining robust control over who can view and manage operational information.
Cybersecurity in a Digitised Energy Sector
As Australia's energy sector becomes increasingly digitised, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical consideration for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Modern energy storage assets rely on sophisticated monitoring, controls and communication networks to optimise performance and support grid operations. While these capabilities deliver significant benefits, they also create new cyber risk considerations that must be proactively managed.
For data centres, utilities, industrial facilities and critical infrastructure operators, safeguarding operational technology (OT) and energy management systems is no longer optional. It is essential.
At EVO Power, cybersecurity is embedded into the design and operation of our energy storage solutions through our proprietary Grid Manager™ platform, providing customers with secure, reliable and locally hosted visibility and control of their critical energy assets.
Supporting Critical Infrastructure Security
Data centres, utilities, water authorities, transport networks and industrial operators all face increasing pressure to strengthen cybersecurity across operational technology environments.
Controlled System Access
Designed with secure user management protocols that support operational governance and accountability.
Reduced Operational Risk
Continuous monitoring helps identify potential issues before they impact system performance or reliability.
Resilient Energy Infrastructure
Combining secure monitoring with advanced battery storage technology helps organisations improve both cybersecurity posture and energy resilience.
Why Cybersecurity Matters for Battery Energy Storage Systems
Battery Energy Storage Systems are increasingly connected to internal networks, renewable generation assets, energy markets and utility infrastructure. This connectivity enables greater intelligence and flexibility but also increases exposure to potential cyber threats.
A cyber incident could impact:
- Energy availability and system reliability
- Operational visibility and monitoring capabilities
- Asset performance and optimisation
- Regulatory compliance requirements
- Business continuity and critical operations
For organisations operating mission-critical infrastructure, protecting energy assets from cyber threats is as important as protecting the facilities they support.

The Importance of Local Data Hosting
Data sovereignty has become a key concern across Australia's critical infrastructure sectors. Many organisations now require operational data to remain within Australian borders to support compliance, security and governance requirements.
Local data hosting delivers significant benefits:
Enhanced Data Sovereignty
Keeping operational energy data within Australia ensures greater control over sensitive information and helps satisfy internal governance and regulatory requirements.
Reduced Cybersecurity Risk
Limiting the storage and transfer of operational data through offshore environments can reduce exposure to external security risks and improve oversight of critical system information.
Improved System Reliability
Local hosting environments can provide lower latency communications and improved responsiveness for monitoring, control and reporting functions.
Greater Customer Control
Australian-hosted platforms provide customers with enhanced transparency regarding data ownership, access management and information security practices.
