Cybersecurity and connectivity are at the heart of modern IoT, especially in the framework of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). In this keynote, EBV, NXP, and the global team for /IOTCONNECT powered by AWS present how they simplify secure IoT development across diverse applications—from consumer electronics and appliances to industrial sensing and infrastructure. Learn how Zephyr RTOS, with its modular architecture, hardware agnosticism, and lean footprint optimized for small MCUs, enables scalable and CRA-compliant designs. Combined with secure elements, wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, Cellular, …), and NXP’s MCUs, this approach supports simple, secure, scalable IoT solutions. EBV’s hands-on workshops provide to developers across EMEA ready-to-use hardware, cloud integration, and security best practices. Whether you're designing smart infrastructure, consumer devices, or industrial sensors, this talk will accelerate your journey toward secure, CRA-ready IoT deployments.
