Cyber Resiliance Act: more security for • Table.Briefings

Participation of Thierry Breton, European Commissioner, to the second meeting of the High Level Forum on European Standardisation expert group — Digital Commissioner Thierry Breton.

The co-legislators have reached a compromise on the Cyber Resilience Act in the trilogue. There will be security standards for networked devices such as fridges, webcams and toasters. The first deadline will apply after just 18 months.

Following the NIS2 and CER directives, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the next building block for greater security in Europe. The aim of the compromise reached in the final trilogue meeting on Thursday evening: to increase the security of networked light bulbs, thermostats, toasters and webcams in Europe and the security requirements for software. Manufacturers do not have much time: the first obligation comes into force after 18 months.
