Here’s How AI Agents Can Protect EV Chargers
She says this complex architecture not only keeps the chargers working efficiently but also presents a host of new and far-reaching security vulnerabilities. The OCCP standard is one of the most widely used for the operation and management of electric-vehicle chargers. The researchers say this limitation makes it difficult to identify where in the system an anomaly is occurring, which network components are compromised, the extent of any vulnerabilities, and the ways in which a potential attack might spread.Call in the AIThe researchers propose a system that uses multiple AI agents.
