The European Commission plans to implement tough new measures that would make tech developers accountable for the cybersecurity of their products throughout their life cycle.
The European Union’s proposed Cyber Resilience Act would force manufacturers of any internet-connected product or service to put cybersecurity at the heart of their design as they would ultimately be held responsible for ensuring they are safe to use for years after their sale.
The plans were announced as part of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s “State of the Union” address Sept. 15.
