Energy Storage Europe says the rapid rollout of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is outpacing existing cybersecurity protections and calls for an urgent overhaul of security standards across the sector. The industry body warns that as grid-scale storage becomes a bigger part of energy infrastructure, it presents an increasing attack surface that current rules and practices do not adequately cover. The call adds to broader debate in Europe about securing critical energy assets amid rising digital threats.
