The EU Cyber Resilience Act

The Cyber Resilience Act is a legal framework that describes the cybersecurity requirements of both hardware and software products with digital elements that shall be placed on the EU market without any known exploitable vulnerabilities and must ensure security for the whole of the product’s lifecycle.

One of the main impacts of the Cyber Resilience Act is that manufacturers are now legally obliged to document everything about the product, including a definition and explanation of the software and hardware bill of materials (BoM). They must also document a detailed list of all the harmonised EU cybersecurity standards that the product meets and perform thorough risk assessments for the OEM and the end-user to better understand the product. In addition, they need to explain which software they are using (open versus closed source) and ensure that they provide the market with ongoing security breach awareness throughout the lifetime of the product.
