Abstract
Cybersecurity is a major challenge for modern organizations. The CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) is an ambitious European Union regulation aimed at improving the cybersecurity and cyber resilience of digital products marketed in Europe. Economic players have until September 2026 to comply with certain critical obligations, and then until December 2027 to adapt to all the other requirements
In this session we are aiming at moving forward on the preparation of OW2 members and open source actors in general to the new regulations.
Resource
The Cyber Resilience Act Compliance Guide co-produced by CNLL (French Association of Open Source Businesses) with inno³ (consulting firm specializing in open models) will be used as a key resource.
Access to the guide.
Agenda
The anticipated topics discussed during the session include:
Presentation by Benjamin Jean, inno³
- Updates on previous discussions and version 2 of the Cyber Resilience Compliance Guide co-produced by the CNLL and inno³ (see above). This will be presented in the context of the timeline of the new regulation, knowing that the deadline for the first adaptations is September 2026.
- Presentation of concrete steps for implementing the compliance program, based on the Use Case of LibreOffice.
Open Discussion and next steps
We consider this work to be done in a collaborative and collective manner, involving all actors with a common aim to support the European open source ecosystem
