Cyber Resilience Act Approved

This week has been monumental for cybersecurity, because the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has been approved by the European Parliament with 517 votes in favor, 12 against and 78 abstentions. The CRA is the legal framework that describes the cybersecurity requirements for hardware and software products with digital elements placed on the market of the European Union.

Other speakers

It wasn't just Anna who made impactful contributions at the EU Cyber Acts Conference. We also benefited from insightful presentations by distinguished speakers such as Wolfgang Steinbauer, SVP Head of Crypto and Security at NXP Semiconductors, and Eloïse Ryon, Senior manager Europe Digital Policy (Global) at Schneider Electric.

Wolfgang Steinbauer's talk "How does regulation fit in a secure connected world?" challenged us to keep pace with technological advancements without rendering new EU certification standards obsolete.

Eloïse Ryon, on the other hand, delved into "The regionalization of cybersecurity policy: The end of international cybersecurity standards?". She highlighted the critical balance between regional initiatives and the need for international cybersecurity standards to prevent fragmentation and encourage global adoption.

As we move forward, it's clear that collaboration, innovation, and a balanced approach to regulation and standardization are key to building a resilient digital Europe. Let's raise our cyber resilience together.
