The CRA is more than just another EU law. It is a game changer for digital security. Let's take a closer look at it:
Key points of the CRA
- Scope: Concerns all products with digital elements - from smartwatches to industrial control systems.
- Risk categories: Products are divided into different risk categories, with correspondingly strict requirements.
- Life cycle approach: Security must be guaranteed from development to disposal.
- Obligation to report: Vulnerabilities must be reported within 24 hours.
- Penalties: Violations can result in fines of up to 15 million euros or 2.5% of annual global turnover.
Specific objectives of the CRA
- Systematically closing gateways for hackers
- Increasing cyber security for hardware and software products
- Creating a standardized framework for product security
- Strengthening consumer confidence in connected devices
- Promoting a more resilient and secure digital future for Europe
What does that mean in concrete terms?
Let's take an example: you manufacture networked thermostats. According to the CRA, you must now:
- Think about security right from the design stage (security by design)
- Provide regular security updates
- Keep detailed documentation on cyber security
- Respond quickly to discovered vulnerabilities
Sounds like a lot of work? It is. But it is necessary and also offers opportunities.
