Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's ev charging operators could expose charge point fleets, driver payments and energy data, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why ev charging operators are targeted: Smart charge point regulations mandate security, and fleets of chargers are a grid-scale attack surface.
