Navigating the Future of CRA Compliance
Empowering organizations with cutting-edge insights and tools for robust cybersecurity resilience under the Cyber Resilience Act.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
The Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a formal, machine-readable inventory of software components and their supply chain relationships. It provides transparency into the composition of software products, enabling better management of cybersecurity risks.
- Component Transparency: Understand every element within your software.
- Vulnerability Discovery: Quickly identify affected components when new vulnerabilities emerge.
- License Compliance: Track and manage open-source and proprietary licenses.
- Supply Chain Integrity: Enhance trust in the software supply chain.
Under CRA, maintaining accurate and accessible SBOMs is crucial for demonstrating due diligence and ensuring product security throughout its lifecycle.
Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management is the continuous process of identifying, assessing, reporting, and remediating security weaknesses in systems and software. It's a proactive approach to minimize the attack surface and prevent successful cyberattacks.
- Continuous Monitoring: Regularly scan for new vulnerabilities.
- Prioritization: Focus on critical vulnerabilities that pose the highest risk.
- Patch Management: Timely application of security patches and updates.
- Threat Intelligence Integration: Leverage up-to-date information on emerging threats.
The CRA emphasizes the need for robust vulnerability handling procedures, including mechanisms for reporting, public disclosure, and timely remediation to ensure digital product safety.
Risk Assessment
A thorough Risk Assessment identifies potential threats and vulnerabilities, analyzes their potential impact, and evaluates the likelihood of their occurrence. This process helps organizations make informed decisions about security investments and mitigation strategies.
- Identification: Pinpoint assets, threats, and vulnerabilities.
- Analysis: Determine the likelihood and impact of identified risks.
- Evaluation: Prioritize risks based on their severity and potential consequences.
- Mitigation Planning: Develop strategies to reduce or eliminate identified risks.
Under the CRA, manufacturers are required to conduct comprehensive risk assessments for their digital products, covering cybersecurity risks throughout the product's entire lifecycle, from design to end-of-life.
