In this article by Dark Reading, Associate Director of Threat Intelligence Ian Usher comments on the impact of ransomware on critical national infrastructure. "The government can...ensure consistent cybersecurity standards across critical infrastructure," he says. "A continued lack of alignment will only serve to create an ever more complex Web of rules. This will likely be counterproductive to delivering better cyber resilience, and contribute to the problem of cybersecurity compliance becoming a 'tick box' exercise."

Prepare for the New EU Cyber Resilience Act The new EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to overhaul cyber security practices for digital products in the EU. From manufacturers to vendors, everyone must ensure their products meet CRA standards before entering the EU market. "Important" products will need to adhere to specific standards or pass third-party evaluations, while "highly critical" ones will demand EU certification. Ignoring CRA could result in hefty penalties, so it's vital to incorporate these security measures into your product development now! For a detailed guide on the CRA and how to adapt your business, check out the full blog by Verona Johnstone-Hulse. https://bit.ly/3WenkgM #CyberResilienceAct #EUCompliance #CyberSecurity #DigitalStandards

“The imminent Cyber Resilience Act is set to introduce a wide-ranging framework governing the cybersecurity of digital products sold in the EU. The draft Act sets out essential cyber security requirements for the design, development, and production of "products with digital elements" (PDEs). Broadly speaking, PDEs refer to all hardware and software products with some exceptions, such as medical devices, national security, and vehicles regulated elsewhere.” 🔐 Read Verona Johnstone-Hulse's (@NCCGroupplc) latest #techUKCyber blog: “Preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act." 👉 Read here: https://orlo.uk/465oH Dan Patefield | Jill Broom | Annie Collings | Tracy Modha #CyberSecurity ------------------------------ 🌱 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌍 https://orlo.uk/KW2ct
