The Cyber Resilience Act: A New Era for Mobile App Developers
Many mobile app manufacturers may be in for a sudden awakening in the not-so-distant future. The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a new law set to go into effect soon and serves as a framework designed to enhance the security of “products with digital elements.” It’s now clear the new law includes mobile apps.
During lengthy and ongoing discussions about the new act, it wasn’t fully understood what “all digital devices and software” phrasing within the act meant. At first, the scope seemed vague, but the EPP Group – the largest bloc in the European Parliament – has clarified that the CRA covers not only hardware such as laptops and mobile phones but also the applications they run. This leaves no room for doubt: Mobile app manufacturers must comply with the CRA’s requirements.
