The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act reporting requirements kick in Friday, September 11, and for many manufacturers, the hardest part won’t be filing a report. It will be figuring out what they actually need to report.
Do they have a vulnerability? Is it being actively exploited? Which products are affected? And can they answer those questions fast enough to meet a 24-hour reporting clock?
According to Doc McConnell, Head of Policy and Compliance at Finite State and former CISA Branch Chief and Senior Advisor for Cybersecurity Policy at OMB: “The biggest obstacle isn’t paperwork, it’s visibility. Many companies lack accurate software inventories across their product lines, and have limited insight into third-party components embedded in products.”
With the deadline just a day away, Doc can talk about where manufacturers are most likely to get caught off guard when a vulnerability arises and what happens as the 24-hour cybersecurity reporting mandate clock starts.
