The Cyber Resilience Act And SaaS: Why Compliance Is Only Half The Battle
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, November 26th, 2025
The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has captured global attention because of the new approach it brings to regulating software and connected products. The CRA doesn't stop at compliance checkboxes.
It introduces four principles that reshape how vendors must think about security: Products should launch without known vulnerabilities, security must be built in from the design phase, vulnerabilities must be managed across the entire lifecycle, and vendors must be prepared to deliver rapid updates when issues arise. The common thread is clear. Resilience needs to be embedded from the start rather than bolted on after incidents.
