EU Cyber Resilience Act to Mandate 'Secure by Design' for Connected Products by Late 2027

The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) will require all connected products sold in Europe to be 'secure by design' starting in late 2027. This landmark legislation covers a vast array of digital-element goods, from laptops to smart home devices, and emphasizes that cybersecurity must be integrated from the outset, not as an afterthought.
