The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) establishes mandatory cybersecurity requirements for most products with digital elements placed on the EU market. It raises the baseline for secure-by-design/default engineering and, critically, makes post-market security support and evidence production a compliance obligation.

Automotive engineering teams are being asked to deliver faster, with less tolerance for failure. Software-defined vehicle programmes, secure OTA rollouts, zonal and service-oriented architectures, and continuous feature delivery are now baseline expectations. In parallel, regulatory pressure is increasing — from WP.29 (R155/R156), ISO/SAE 21434, and the forthcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act — tightening requirements around software integrity, traceability, and lifecycle governance.

As IoT and operational technology environments expand, organisations are discovering that a large portion of their device estate simply cannot be secured using traditional methods. Many devices cannot run agents, cannot be patched regularly, or cannot tolerate downtime. In 2025, this reality is no longer the exception—it is the norm.

The rapid expansion of connected devices has fundamentally changed how organisations operate. From smart sensors and industrial controllers to gateways, cameras, and embedded systems, IoT has become integral to modern business. Digital transformation is accelerating the adoption of IoT technologies, increasing the attack surface and making IoT security a critical component of modern cybersecurity strategies.
