The spread of electric mobility makes charging stations increasingly central-and increasingly exposed. Connected to communication and energy networks, these infrastructures manage operational data, HMI interfaces and economic transactions, becoming a potential target for cyber-physical attacks.
Out of this need comes CyberGuardEV, a project co-funded by Cyber 4.0 as part of its innovation and technology transfer activities.
The initiative, coordinated by. TME – Test and Manufacturing Engineering S.r.l. in collaboration with Alfagreen Solution S.r.l., led to the development of an innovative electronic device capable of detecting and mitigating side-channel attacks, protecting EV charging stations and sensitive information related to charging operations.
What makes CyberGuardEV innovative?
- Detection and mitigation of side-channel attacks;
- Secure integration into data and energy networks, protecting HMI and economic transactions;
- a device designed for EV cyber-physical systems, ready for industrial implementation.
Areas of application
CyberGuardEV addresses:
- EV charging station operators who want to protect their infrastructure;
- Automotive OEMs committed to the development of safe charging ecosystems;
- Energy providers that operate EV infrastructure connected to the power grid.
A concrete step toward safer, more resilient and technologically advanced charging infrastructure to support the transition to electric mobility.
