Summary
The European Parliament (EP) adopted a provisional version of the final text of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on March 12, 2024, with the final version expected to be signed and published in October.
The EU's CyberResilienceAct (CRA) proposes stringent cybersecurity requirements for digital products, aiming to bolster security against cyberattacks. While it promises safer hardware and software, it also raises questions for Open Source contributors and organizations. Will they be liable for vulnerabilities in their code? Could this legislation stifle innovation or foster it?
Join us in exploring these questions to understand how the CRA underscores the imperative for open source organizations to advocate for their interests in policymaking.
