The EU Cyber Resilience Act will require software and hardware developers to comply with its regulations starting in 2024, unless they fall within one of the four product exemption categories. Failure to comply may result in penalties. Using a modern package management system as part of a CI/CD process can help meet these requirements, particularly by minimizing vulnerabilities and being transparent about cybersecurity aspects. Legacy systems often struggle with visibility, manual vulnerability scanning, tracking dependencies, and robust logging and reporting, making compliance more challenging. In contrast, cloud-native artifact management systems like Cloudsmith provide features such as secure authentication, access controls, audit logs, policy management, vulnerability scanning, and upstream proxying of public repositories to streamline CRA compliance efforts and support evolving requirements.
