What is the Cyber Resilience Act?
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a new EU regulation that mandates strong cybersecurity requirements for connected devices and software. From December 2027, all “products with digital elements” must meet these requirements to access the EU market and display the CE mark.
The CRA applies to embedded devices, cloud services, and applications — and compliance is essential for product certification, market access, and trust.
