COURSE OBJECTIVES
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a new European regulation on cybersecurity requirements. It is important for in-house counsel to know because it provides solutions to the significant increase in cyber-attacks and strengthens cybersecurity obligations for most companies. This training helps companies determine whether they are subject to the CRA and, if so, to identify the main obligations. It will provide information to identify to whom the CRA applies and to which products, the classification of actors and the main related obligations. For this purpose, we will go through the timeline of entry into force of the CRA, its material and territorial scope, the sanctions for breach of the CRA’s provisions, the classification of products with digital elements and the obligations of the stakeholders. The training will also provide an opportunity to discuss with the participants the uncertainties to date of the CRA and the difficulties in interpreting some of its provisions.
