Auditorium

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has been adopted, and the new obligations for manufacturers and open source software stewards will come into effect in 2026 and 2027. This joint session between Linux Foundation Europe, LF Research, and the OpenSSF will describe how the Linux Foundation is seizing the opportunity for an improved state of the union in cybersecurity that the CRA offers, and is steering necessary adaptations for the benefit of our members, projects, and contributors.

Specifically, this session will describe CRA implementation progress, commencing with the Linux Foundation's stewards and manufacturers workshop in December 2024, new working groups at the OpenSSF, and research projects, to provide guidance and raise awareness within our ecosystem. It will end with an interactive panel discussion where questions about the impact of the CRA on our collaborative development efforts will be addressed.
