A recent webinar on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) brought together developers, manufacturers, and security professionals to examine how the new EU regulation will reshape cybersecurity requirements for connected products.
The webinar explained that CRA introduces mandatory security standards for almost all hardware and software with a digital element. Participants learned that security must be ensured from design to end-of-life, supported by proper documentation and timely vulnerability fixes.
The webinar also clarified that some sectors remain outside the scope due to existing regulatory frameworks, but most products must reach full compliance by December 2027. However, reporting obligations for exploited vulnerabilities and serious incidents will already take effect in September 2026.
The event underscored that CRA is not just a regulatory shift but a catalyst for raising security maturity across European product development.
