Explore the Evolving Regulatory Landscape for Cybersecurity
Eurovent invites members to its online information session by UL Solutions, on 10 February 2026. It will provide insights into the European cybersecurity landscape, from the Radio Equipment Directive to the Cyber Resilience Act.
Background
The global cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving as connected technologies expand across industries, driving increased attention to market trends, international standards, and emerging regulations. Today, manufacturers of connected devices must navigate a complex environment shaped by growing cyber threats, heightened consumer expectations, and new regulatory requirements such as the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) which collectively aim to strengthen device security, protect personal data, and enhance trust in digital products.
As part of this regulatory landscape, delegated regulation 2022/30/EU introduced mandatory cybersecurity, privacy, and fraud protection requirements for certain categories of wireless devices under RED Article 3.3(d), (e) and (f).
