CRA: The New Rules of Engineering Connected Product

The EU Cyber Resilience Act mandates incident reporting from September 2026, with full CE marking compliance enforceable from December 2027. For manufacturers of industrial systems, critical infrastructure and IoT devices, the engineering transformation must start right now – not in 2027. This session translates CRA's core requirements, secured-by-design, vulnerability handling, SBOM transparency and conformity assessment, into concrete engineering and organizational actions. Drawing on European Commission's draft CRA guidance and real-world semiconductor implementation experience, we unpack where manufacturers underestimate effort, where enforcement pressure lands first, and why security built into your product from day one is becoming your most powerful market differentiator.
