Time to get CRAcking: how to prepare your codebase for the CRA before September
Wednesday, May 27 at 4pm CEST 9am CDT
CRA is coming, and this is no longer the time to prepare in theory. It is time to be ready. The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA; Regulation EU 2024/2847) is ushering in a new era of regulatory accountability, placing responsibility for preventing cybersecurity failures squarely on manufacturers.
At the same time, software development has changed dramatically with the rise of AI. While the compliance playbook may not look radically different on paper, the operating environment has. Organizations are entering an era of stricter regulation while placing increasing trust in autonomous tooling that can generate code faster than teams can fully review and understand it.
Webinar objectives
- Understand what is coming, including key timelines and obligations
