It is more than regular cybersecurity practices. It&#8217;s about a <strong>company&#8217;s ability to stop, handle, and bounce back from cyberattacks<\/strong> while keeping things running smoothly, avoiding or minimizing financial loss and reputational damage.<\/p>\n<p>The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) underscores this necessity by setting higher cybersecurity standards for products with digital elements across the EU.
