Unpacking the CRA: How the open source community is collaborating in the ORC to address the CRA
1The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to have a sweeping impact on the open source ecosystem—and the Eclipse Foundation community will be among those affected. Tobie Langel provides an overview of how the open source community is responding to the CRA.
This webinar explores how the open source community—through the Open Regulatory Compliance (ORC) Working Group—is responding to the challenges posed by the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). You'll learn about the resources already developed, how the community is shaping the implementation of the CRA, and what’s planned for the year ahead. Whether you’ve already begun your CRA compliance journey or are still unsure how it will impact your projects, this session will help you understand what’s coming and how to get involved.
