Implementing the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
summary
The EU Cyber Resilience Act goes from proposal to law with a 36‑month rollout and forces new roles: manufacturers bear product liability while stewards (foundations) handle vulnerability contacts and coordination. Linux Foundation audits show 62% low familiarity and only 28% know the 2027 deadline, while projects like Civil Infrastructure, Yocto and Zephyr already use 10-year maintenance windows, reproducible builds and PSIRTs. Recommended actions: identify critical dependencies, produce SBOMs, contribute fixes upstream; estimated manufacturer overhead is about 6% extra effort.
