Cybersecurity requirements are becoming an increasingly important part of machine and system development.
Regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2, together with standards such as IEC 62443, introduce requirements that need to be considered throughout the lifecycle of industrial automation systems.
With CRA reporting obligations already applying from September 2026 and the regulation becoming fully applicable in December 2027, understanding these requirements is becoming increasingly relevant for machine and product development.
Our new free online course module provides a structured introduction to the regulatory context as well as the associated technical concepts.
Topics included:
- Applicability and timelines of CRA, NIS2, and related regulations
- Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL)
- IEC 62443 roles and responsibilities in the supply chain
- Reference architectures and their purpose
- Risk analysis and compliance considerations
- Security user documentation
- Secure operation of connected machinery
The course uses a practical example to illustrate how these topics come together when developing and operating secure and compliant machines.
