Episode notes
CRA Regulates Cybersecurity Across Europe
- The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the first EU-wide regulation for cybersecurity that affects all digital product manufacturers and open source communities.
- It aims to reduce vulnerabilities, maintain security through product lifecycles, and empower consumers with informed decisions.
Software Included in CRA Scope
- Including pure software within the CRA was a significant shift triggered by major cybersecurity events like Log4Shell.
- This extends regulation beyond hardware to encompass the entire software industry for the first time.
CRA Encourages Upstream Collaboration
- CRA creates an economic incentive for companies to support and collaborate with open source projects.
- This may improve sustainability of open source communities through shared security responsibilities.
