The source reviews the cybersecurity aspects of Cloud Battery Management Systems (CBMS), highlighting their cyber-physical architecture that connects physical BMS units to cloud-based virtual systems via IoT. It identifies potential cyberattack surfaces and scenarios, analyzing their impacts at both component and system levels. Furthermore, the paper examines countermeasures to mitigate these risks, reviews relevant security standards, and outlines future research directions to enhance the resilience and security of end-to-end CBMS flows.
“However, as for any other CPS, the CBMS creates vulnerabilities against cyberattacks and if not properly secured, could end up damaging the BESS and/or causing dangerous, expensive, and life-threatening situations.”
