The new European regulation, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), establishes cybersecurity requirements for digital products placed on the EU market. How can companies prepare in practice? What does it mean for businesses in the Czech Republic, and how can they take advantage of available support?
The expert team at Frank Bold, in cooperation with the Czech Innovation Centre, invites you to a practical workshop where we will clearly explain the key principles of the CRA and, above all, present concrete tools, support mechanisms, and practical experiences. Everything will be delivered in a clear and accessible way, without unnecessary complexity.
Early understanding of the regulation can help you better plan future development and regulatory compliance.
In addition, representatives from the EU-funded projects Cyberstand.eu, OSCRAT, TRUSTBOOST, and SECURE will join with a dedicated session to showcase the practical tools, services, and resources they are developing to support SMEs in meeting the Cyber Resilience Act requirements.
This session will provide participants with direct insight into how to access EU-funded support opportunities, collaborate with expert networks, and leverage free resources designed to reduce the cost and complexity of CRA compliance for Czech SMEs.
