Securing the Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure

In the context of the soaring market for Electric Vehicles and charging stations, along with digitalization, there is an increased risk of fraud and cyberattack on infrastructure and charging stations.

Handling these threats comes with the following challenges:

• Protect the EV charging infrastructure end-to-end, taking into account charging stations, communication channels, and IT servers.
• Define the right solution requires a high level of expertise in cybersecurity.
• Design and implement a certificate-based solution (PKI) to secure the data exchange that complies with security standards is complex.
• Reinforce user authentication at charging stations with stronger technologies on top of RFID.
• Ensure constant cybersecurity monitoring and maintain the highest level of security during the entire lifetime of the solution.
