The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to improve the security of digital products and services across the EU by setting cybersecurity standards for connected devices and software. Manufacturers, developers, and distributors are responsible for ensuring their products meet these standards, which includes secure design and development, timely updates, and security assessments before launch. The CRA applies to a wide range of products, including hardware, software, and components, and has significant global impact as companies that want to sell digital products in the EU market must comply with its standards. The regulation also imposes penalties for non-compliance, with fines reaching up to €15 million or 2.5% of the global annual turnover, whichever is higher. The CRA promotes a proactive approach to security, ensuring that companies prioritize cybersecurity throughout the product lifecycle and that consumers are better protected against cyber threats.
