Navigate new EU security regulations with ST solutions
Aug. 05, 2025 –
Security is now a core part of product development. The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED) have set mandatory cybersecurity and safety standards for connected digital and radio devices.
The CRA is a new EU law requiring connected digital products to meet strict cybersecurity standards throughout their lifecycle, protecting users and reducing cyber risks.
The RED is an EU regulation ensuring radio and telecom devices are safe, free from harmful interference, and equipped with essential security features for reliable wireless communication.
As developers, integrating these requirements early helps build secure, reliable products that protect users, avoid costly penalties, and maintain market access.
These regulations are designed to close security gaps early in the product lifecycle, ensuring devices are secure by design, regularly updated, and capable of resisting attacks. Non-compliance not only risks user safety and data integrity but can also lead to costly penalties and market access restrictions.
Key reasons to prioritize CRA and RED regulations
- Build devices for the long term: security is now mandatory and will bear further requirements in the future.
- Protect users and data: prevent cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and data breaches by embedding security early and maintaining it throughout the product lifecycle.
- Protect your market and bring confidence: meet high security and safety standards to earn customer trust and ensure your products remain competitive in the European market.
- Avoid risks and penalties: stay ahead of regulatory requirements to prevent product recalls, fines, and legal liabilities.
- Reduce costs of non-security: adopt secure-by-design principles that reduce vulnerabilities and future-proof your products.
