Regulation: EU’s New Cyber Resilience Act
On September 15, 2022, the European Commission published a proposal for a new regulation called the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The drafted law aims to strengthen digital products in the European Union and also to amend Regulation 2019/1020.
In line with the EU's goal of digital transformation to be the forefront leader in cybersecurity, CRA was created to introduce rules that are not yet covered by previous regulations. The new framework will be applied to a broad range of hardware and software products in the EU market.
If passed, the Commission will monitor its implementation and the compliance of organizations involved as well as the assessing of the effectiveness of the provisions. The Commission is also responsible for reviewing and submitting a report to the Council and the European Parliament within 36 months of the CRA's application and every four years after that. CRA is currently open for public comment until November 22, 2022.
