What is the new EU Cyber Resilience Act?

The Cyber Resilience Act is the first ever EU-wide legislation of its kind. It introduces common cybersecurity rules for manufacturers and developers of products with digital elements, covering both hardware and software.

The Cyber Resilience Act will ensure that:

• Wired and wireless products that are connected to the internet, and software placed on the EU market are more secure;
• Manufacturers remain responsible for the cybersecurity of a product throughout its lifecycle;
• Consumers are properly informed about the cybersecurity of the products they buy and use.
