As of September 11, 2026, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mandates stricter cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold in the EU. This legislation affects manufacturers, importers, and distributors, requiring them to implement secure product development and vulnerability management practices. Companies like Rockwell Automation are introducing new cybersecurity capabilities, such as SecureOT, to help Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) comply with these regulations. The CRA emphasizes the importance of long-term support for security updates and the integration of cybersecurity from the design phase. OEMs must demonstrate compliance readiness and maintain documentation of their cybersecurity posture. The CRA's reporting requirements are now in effect, and many OEMs are already navigating these evolving compliance challenges. The legislation aims to enhance overall cybersecurity resilience across the industrial ecosystem.
