Readying Industrial Connectivity for Cybersecurity Requirements
Cyber attacks on industrial operations have highlighted the lag in OT cybersecurity compared with IT. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), effective from December 2024, forces manufacturers to report vulnerabilities and obtain CE marking for new digital products by December 2027. Standards such as IEC 62443 and collaborative groups like the Industrial Security Harmonization Group (ISHG) are positioned to translate CRA’s outcome‑based mandates into concrete, interoperable practices. FieldComm Group is steering these efforts, offering tools and frameworks to help suppliers achieve CRA compliance.
