The EU CRA: How device manufacturers should prepare
Terry London was live on the embedded world 2024 Exhibition&Conference stage on April 11, 2024. His topic: “Preparing industrial device manufacturers for the upcoming EU CRA – from a secure embedded software development perspective.”
With over 1,100 exhibitors from almost 50 countries, and more than 32,000 attendees from over 80 countries, the event was a testament to its status as the premier gathering for the global embedded community. As a speaker at the conference, Terry had the privilege of sharing insights on preparing industrial device manufacturers for the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act, addressing critical issues in secure embedded software development.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that software-level security measures alone (not to mention keeping devices offline) are no longer sufficient for protecting industrial equipment from malicious use.
Industrial device makers are generally aware of the upcoming European Cyber Resilience Act (EU CRA). But it’s quite a leap to upgrade device-level security and infrastructure for managing device identities, permissions, and licenses.
This presentation shows how industrial electronic device manufacturers solve challenges concerning device security and embedded software licensing, such as protecting against unauthorized changes to device settings or device firmware.
