What is the Cyber Resilience Act?
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the new regulation setting the cybersecurity requirements for products commercialized in the European Union (EU). This regulation marks a decisive step toward enhancing digital security and safety across Europe. It requires manufacturers to integrate security by design, manage vulnerabilities proactively, and provide transparent support throughout the product lifecycle.
As cyber threats grow more complex, the CRA sets the foundation for protecting users, strengthening trust, and shaping a resilient digital future.
