Cyber Resilience Act
What is the Cyber Resilience Act
CRA is a landmark EU regulation to improve the cybersecurity for “products with digital elements”, including IoT devices. Its primary goal is to ensure that all digital products meet essential cybersecurity requirements throughout their lifecycle, protecting consumers and businesses from cyber threats. Starting in 2027, products that don’t comply will face heavy fines and restricted market access, meaning CRA compliance is not just a legal requirement – it’s a competitive advantage.
