The EU Cybersecurity Act enhances cybersecurity across the European Union by strengthening the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and introducing an EU-wide certification framework for ICT products, services, and processes. This framework allows companies to obtain certification once for their ICT offerings, with recognition across all EU member states, simplifying compliance and enhancing security standards.

The Cyber Resilience Act is a proposed EU regulation aimed at strengthening cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements. It addresses critical gaps in the current legal framework, particularly the absence of specific cybersecurity measures for non-embedded software. The Act focuses on reducing vulnerabilities from the design phase through the entire lifecycle of hardware and software products. Its goals are to enhance product security, ensure consistent cybersecurity frameworks for producers, improve transparency about product security features, and empower consumers and businesses to use digital products securely. This legislation seeks to mitigate the substantial societal and economic impacts of cyberattacks by establishing stricter cybersecurity standards across the EU.
