New for 2025, IoT Cyber Compliance Day is an optional special-focus event which will help industry professionals prepare now for the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), an emerging regulatory framework that requires manufacturers to implement and maintain security standards throughout a product’s lifecycle. IoT Cyber Compliance Day will cover key questions for professionals affected by these fast-developing global frameworks, showcase real world examples of product developers preparing for rollout, present approaches to overlapping global standards (including Cyber Trust Mark in the United States), and lay out the pros and cons of certification.
Presented 25 March, prior to the EU Cyber Acts conference.
