The CRA also specifies that important and critical products will be placed on different lists based on their criticality and the level of cybersecurity risk they pose. The list of products covered by the law includes categories such as identity management systems software, password managers, biometric readers, smart home assistants, and private security cameras.
Furthermore, to emphasise the importance of professional skills in cybersecurity, MEPs are encouraging member states to raise education standards through the adoption of training programmes that will enhance workforce mobility in the regulation.
