Cyber Resilience Act

New Obligations for Manufacturers, Greater Safety for Users

In an increasingly networked world, companies are facing a growing flood of cyberattacks that seriously compromise their security and operations. A successful hacker attack can paralyze networks, lead to significant data loss, or interrupt operations for weeks, causing substantial economic damage.

Cyberattacks in Germany alone have recently caused damages of around €180 billion. The European Union is responding to these threats with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which aims to establish uniform cybersecurity standards for networked products within the EU and increase product-level security.
