What is DERSec and what does the company do?

DER Security Corp (DERSec) is delivering revolutionary technology capable of securing Distributed Energy Resources and the energy grid against sophisticated adversaries. The company builds AI-native OT cybersecurity protecting data center microgrids, solar and storage systems, and grid-edge infrastructure from nation-state threats and insider compromise.

What is DERSec's heritage and founding background?

DERSec was built by the architects of DER standards. The founding team includes leading contributors to SunSpec Alliance, IEEE 2030.5, and grid interoperability protocols worldwide. The founders wrote the protocols themselves — combining that depth of standards expertise with proven enterprise execution and US Department of Energy national laboratory heritage.

What is DERSec's mission?

DERSec's mission is to protect the critical infrastructure powering the clean energy transition by building cybersecurity that is as native to the grid as the standards that define it. As central power plants are replaced by millions of solar inverters, batteries, and electric vehicles, the grid's attack surface is expanding rapidly. DERSec exists to secure this new landscape.

DERSec is led by Thomas Tansy as CEO, Vish Ganti as President and COO, Jay Johnson as CTO, Gary Odom as Senior VP of Sales, and Venkat Prabhala as CFO. The leadership team combines decades of experience across energy systems, national laboratories, cybersecurity, and enterprise technology.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

Protect the Critical
Infrastructure Powering the Clean Energy Transition

By building cybersecurity that’s as native to the grid as the standards that define it. The energy transition is the most critical infrastructure shift of our lifetime. As central power plants are replaced by millions of solar inverters, batteries, and electric vehicles, the grid’s attack surface is exploding. DERSec exists to secure this new landscape.

Our Vision

A Decarbonized Grid
Where Security Is Built
Into Every Layer

We envision a future where distributed energy resources are not just clean and efficient, but inherently resilient against the evolving threat landscape — where every solar inverter, battery,
and EV charger is monitored, protected,
and trusted.
