The Dual-Edged Sword of EV and Solar APIs in Grid Security

Explore the cybersecurity vulnerabilities at the intersection of electronic vehicles (EVs), photovoltaic solar systems, and power grid infrastructure in this DEF CON 32 conference talk. Examine how API connections between these systems create potential entry points for large-scale cyber disruptions. Learn about real-world scenarios and attack vectors that could be exploited due to rushed market deployment of PV inverters and EV charging systems with inadequate security measures. Understand the critical importance of implementing robust security frameworks and proactive cybersecurity measures to protect these increasingly interconnected energy systems that power our future.
