The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mandates OEMs to maintain detailed cybersecurity documentation—a 'birth certificate'—for every industrial machine, tracking component security from shipment through its lifecycle. This regulatory shift, enforced from 2026 with full compliance by 2027, requires integrating cybersecurity with health and safety standards, significantly increasing compliance complexity and automation reliance for manufacturers worldwide selling into the EU.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ The Wire takeaway

EU cyber rules now make your manufacturing product's security traceable throughout its life, turning compliance into a competitive edge if you automate vulnerability tracking and prove your machines’ resilience fast.
