Description

This course introduces the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), providing a clear understanding of its provisions, compliance requirements, and practical steps for implementation. Perfect for cybersecurity professionals, business leaders, and anyone involved in the development or management of digital products, this course will guide you through the essential requirements, annexes, and hands-on processes to ensure your products meet EU cybersecurity standards under the CRA.The course is divided into two sections. In the first part, we will review the law from a theoretical perspective. For every chapter covered, we will identify and extract the actions necessary to ensure compliance in our products. Once these concepts are well understood, we will move to the practical section of the course, where we will develop processes and apply what we have learned to a real-world scenario.Participants will explore critical topics such as mandatory cybersecurity measures, post-market monitoring obligations, and the responsibilities of manufacturers and importers. Additionally, you'll gain valuable insights into navigating the annexes, understanding enforcement mechanisms, and implementing security processes to align with EU expectations. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to ensure your organization's digital products are secure, resilient, and fully compliant with the CRA.
