Preparing Manufacturers for the CRA at Code & Compliance
By Shanda Giacomoni
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is reshaping how manufacturers approach software security and compliance. With key deadlines fast approaching, it’s crucial to understand what’s required and how to get there efficiently and collaboratively.
That’s exactly what Code & Compliance Community Day is designed to help you do.
The CRA will require all manufacturers placing products with digital elements on the EU market to meet strict cybersecurity and documentation obligations. That means attestations, SBOMs, secure development processes, and coordinated vulnerability management could soon be a core part of doing business.
At Code & Compliance Community Day, you’ll gain actionable insights from open source experts and industry peers who are already tackling these challenges head-on. This event brings together manufacturers, open source stewards, and maintainers to explore how collaboration and shared best practices can streamline compliance.
Highlights for Manufacturers
