The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to transform the landscape of connected product development across Europe.
This legislation introduces a comprehensive set of cybersecurity requirements that significantly impact both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors.
The Cyber Resilience Act is one of the first law of its kind that aims to improve the cybersecurity of products or software with a digital component which are ubiquitous in our daily lives (ranging from baby monitors, smartwatches, and video games to firewalls and routers) as well as to allow consumers to make more informed choices when they select and use IoT devices.
Once the CRA is applied, all products within the scope of this regulation put on the EU market, whether supplied by an EU company or an external one, will have to be secure from a cybersecurity standpoint.
