Understanding the Cyber Resilience Act

In 2021, the European Commission introduced the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to enhance cybersecurity across the EU, particularly focusing on consumer technology, following the NIS2 Directive which emphasized critical infrastructure. The CRA, part of the 2020 EU Cybersecurity Strategy, aims to reduce vulnerabilities in hardware and software products sold in the EU by enforcing security measures from design to development, creating a unified cybersecurity framework, and enhancing product security transparency. It mandates compliance from manufacturers, especially those producing products with digital elements, through specific security requirements outlined in Annexes I, II, and III, which classify products based on their criticality and compliance obligations. A significant focus is placed on AppSec and open-source software (OSS) security, with Annex I setting key requirements for vulnerability management and encouraging the use of software composition analysis (SCA) tools to identify, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities, particularly those that are exploitable. Endor Labs offers a solution for CRA compliance by providing accurate dependency inventories, prioritizing actionable vulnerabilities, and assisting with secure upgrade processes while offering patches to maintain security during complex upgrades.
