EU Cyber Resilience Act Compliance
The upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mandates rigorous cybersecurity requirements that will significantly affect the IoT sector. The CRA, becoming effective in phases from 2025 to 2027, emphasizes ‘Security by Design’ and imposes strict vulnerability management responsibilities on manufacturers, requiring:
Secure Product Lifecycle:
Products must be designed to be secure from the ground up and must include mechanisms for regular updates.
Vulnerability Management:
Manufacturers must document software components, manage vulnerabilities promptly, and comply with reporting obligations.
CE Certification:
Products must meet cybersecurity requirements to carry the CE mark, influencing purchasing decisions.
Windows IoT on ARM is well-positioned to meet these requirements, offering:
Intrinsic Security:
Designed to be secure by default, minimizing attack surfaces and ensuring robust authentication and access control.
Automated Updates:
Support for automatic security updates, keeping devices compliant and secure without manual intervention.
Comprehensive Monitoring:
Capabilities for runtime monitoring to prevent exploitation and ensure operational integrity.
