Today's topic: the Upcoming EU Cyber resilience act

Who is affected by the upcoming law?

Manufacturers, importers and distributors, i.e. basically everyone who manufactures software and/or products with built-in software. From toys to machines.

What is the law about?

What cybersecurity requirements will be placed on hardware and software. The requirements are set to improve cyber security and reduce the risk and severity of incidents.

“The proposed regulation includes
a) rules for placing on the market digital elements to manufacture the cyber security of such products;
b) essential requirements for the design, development and manufacture of products with digital elements, and obligations of economic operators regarding the cyber security of these products;
c) essential requirements for the vulnerability management processes that manufacturers put in place to address the cyber security of products with digital elements throughout their life cycle as well as obligations of economic operators in relation to these processes, and
d) rules for market surveillance and enforcement in relation to the aforementioned rules and requirements.

The proposed regulation will apply to all products with digital elements whose intended and reasonably foreseeable use includes a direct or indirect, logical or physical data connection to a device or network."
