EV Charging Infrastructure, Applications, and Platforms

Introduce new wide-scale attack vector and cyber threats

The strong demand for fast and available EV charging solutions has introduced a new attack surface, enabling adversaries to access personal data, financial gain, and even impact the electrical grid.

Data leakage of private customer data can be accessed by adversaries via vulnerabilities in EV charging devices and through the EV charging mobile applications.
Financial gains can be unlocked by bad actors manipulating charging stations and infrastructure to commit fraud, either by overpassing payment requirements for charging or by depriving other customers of using charging stations.
Impact on the electrical grid can be the result of a large-scale cyber attack on a network of charging stations and their related infrastructure, affecting the grid and potentially causing local outages.

Monitoring EV Charging Infrastructure to Detect & Mitigate Cyber Attacks

To detect and mitigate cyber attacks

With the Upstream Platform, monitor and manage mobility assets by leveraging digital twins to detect compromised assets by recognizing anomalies in traffic to ensure operational continuity.

Upstream monitors all of your mobility assets, creating a digital twin that reflects the individual state of each charging station, server, and companion application user to provide stakeholders with a full view of charging operations.
The digital twins enable the detection of compromised assets, such as Command & Control backend servers, that may result in prolonged service downtime.
By monitoring all traffic sent to charging stations, the platform can detect anomalies, including abnormal amounts of ‘start-charging’ commands that might compromise electrical infrastructure.
