EU Cybersecurity Compliance: A strategic path from the RED to the CRA

The clock is ticking for August 1, 2025. On this date, the new cybersecurity articles of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) become mandatory for any internet-connected product using radio technology, from devices with Wi-Fi and 4G to those with Bluetooth or NFC. This is a significant challenge for many manufacturers. But focusing only on the RED is a short-term strategy, because the even more thorough Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is on the horizon, set to become the main rulebook for all digital products.

So how do you meet the immediate RED requirements without creating more work for yourself later? The key is to treat the RED as the immediate test, and the CRA as the final exam. In this session, we’ll explain the relationship between the two and show how the EU plans for the CRA to eventually become the single standard for product security. Join us to learn a practical, forward-looking strategy. You’ll see how preparing for the CRA today is the most efficient way to meet the 2025 RED deadline, prevent costly rework down the road, and secure your long-term access to the EU market.
