The Cyber Resilience Act ("CRA") addresses cybersecurity gaps in products with digital elements by mandating compliance with EU-wide standards. Adopted by the Council on October 10, 2024, it establishes obligations for manufacturers, enhances consumer safety, and aligns with other EU regulations to mitigate cyber risks and strengthen resilience.

The rise of digitalization and technologies such as low-cost sensors, embedded systems, and software has fueled the development of the Internet of Things ("IoT"). Products with digital elements are now ubiquitous, ranging from household appliances to toys. To enhance the security of such products, the European Parliament approved the Cyber Resilience Act ("CRA") on March 12, 2024, aiming to protect consumers and businesses from cyber incidents.
