The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will fundamentally change how we build and deliver connected products. Starting in 2025 every wireless product and in 2027, every product with digital elements — from IoT hardware and embedded software to cloud-based services — must comply with strict cybersecurity requirements.

In this keynote, Michel Wouters, Founder & CEO of IoT Consulting Partners, connects a personal story of a lost suitcase to a bigger truth: one weak link in the chain can compromise trust in the entire system.

You will learn what the CRA really means for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and integrators, why open source software and remote data processing are critical in the new regulation, and how to take the first practical steps today.
