CRA and DORA: New laws, new defences?

The next few years will see the European Union introduce new laws governing cybersecurity.

These include the Cyber Resilience Act, and DORA.

DORA -- or the Digital Operational Resilience Act -- looks to improve overall ICT resilience in the financial services sector. But as our guests this week point out, its impact is likely to be felt by other sectors too.

The Cyber Resilience Act is more broadly based, and sets out baseline security requirements for both hardware and software or, as the text states, anything with a digital element.

Security Insights editor Stephen Pritchard discusses the background to the new laws, and what they mean for business with CREST EU council chair, Rodrigo Marcos Alvarez, and Dominik Samociuk, of Future Processing and the Silesian University of Technology, Poland.
