Key Insights
The European Commission's Cyber Resilience Act, proposed on September 15, 2022, seeks to improve the cybersecurity of digital products across the EU. It introduces a comprehensive framework that applies to both tangible and intangible products with digital elements, such as connected devices and software. The Act categorizes products based on risk, mandates security-by-design, and establishes essential cybersecurity and vulnerability requirements. It exempts certain products covered by sectoral legislation but includes provisions for high-risk AI systems. Manufacturers, importers, and distributors must comply with various obligations, including reporting cybersecurity incidents. The Act outlines penalties for non-compliance and will be implemented in phases, with full enforcement expected within two years of adoption.
