As the world increasingly shifts towards green and sustainable energy, the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is accelerating worldwide. Consequently, EV Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) is continually augmented to support this energy evolution with its unique technology, architecture, assets, protocols, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Unique attack surface and vulnerabilities – EV charging sites, energy storage platforms, distributed energy resources (solar panels, wind turbines etc.) have inherent cyber vulnerabilities and risks that jeopardize EV charging availability, continuity, overall business, and the grid. These sites, platforms, and networks represent a highly impactful target for cyber attackers and malicious perpetrators of such activities.
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 exposed and susceptive to cyber attacks.
EVCI requires robust security monitoring, detection, prevention, and management to ensure that it doesn’t present vulnerabilities that cyber attackers can exploit.
SaiFlow provides a modular and comprehensive full-stack cybersecurity platform, for EV charging and distributed energy networks, based on three core engines aimed at protecting you from internal and outside threats
Enhance your EV charging multi-site network security posture and control with SaiFlow’s asset observability, posture and risk management engine, providing the tools to map the entire energy network, detect and mitigate any exposure, misconfiguration, and vulnerability embedded in your EVCI.
Identifying live cyber security incidents with network, communication, energy data and telemetry correlation, alerting you in real time. Supporting standard EVCI protocols (Including OCPP 1.6 and 2+) to detect and prevent suspicious and malicious activities unique to distributed energy and EV charging networks.
Correlating all the network, communication, energy data and telemetry to provide root-cause analysis for cyber incidents and operational malfunctions, helping to accelerate the mitigation process and maximize utilization, performance and uptime of the distributed energy and EV charging networks.
