EU Adopts Cyber Resilience Act to Protect Smart Devices

New legislation mandates stringent cybersecurity standards for all connected devices across Europe.

The Cyber Resilience Act introduces binding cybersecurity requirements for smart devices like coffee machines, smartwatches, and baby monitors.
Manufacturers, importers, and retailers must ensure products meet these standards and carry the CE mark for cybersecurity compliance.
The act requires regular updates and the reporting of IT vulnerabilities and cyber incidents to a central authority.
Consumers and businesses will benefit from enhanced security and confidence in the safety of connected products.
A three-year transition period is set for all market products to comply with the new cybersecurity regulations.
