From compliance to competitive advantage: adapting to the EU cyber resilient act

With 78% of all software now open source, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces a game-changing framework for legal compliance, set to reshape digital industries by 2027. Unlike previous regulations, the CRA imposes strict cybersecurity requirements that directly impact both proprietary and open source ecosystems, redefining how businesses and developers approach security and compliance. Beyond compliance, the CRA presents a unique opportunity for collaboration across industries. Open source communities, businesses, and regulatory bodies must work together to establish best practices, shape industry standards, and contribute to shared security solutions.
