The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is changing the game for anyone building connected products. Whether you’re creating IoT devices, embedded systems, or large-scale hardware platforms, you’re now expected to prove that your products stay secure from the moment they power on to the day they’re retired. That can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
 
In this webinar, we’ll walk you through how Secure Boot Signing, Firmware Signing, and HSM Integration work together to make CRA compliance not just achievable, but sustainable.
You’ll learn:
- How Secure Boot helps your devices start safely every single time by allowing only trusted firmware to run
- Why securely signing firmware updates is essential, and how it protects your customers from tampered or malicious software
- How HSMs keep your signing keys safe and eliminate risky manual processes that could put your compliance at risk
- How combining these three components gives you a clear, reliable roadmap to meeting CRA requirements with confidence
- Practical tips to strengthen your signing workflows without slowing down your engineering teams

Whether you’re already preparing for CRA or just starting to understand what it means for your products, this session will help you feel more confident, more informed, and more ready for what’s ahead.
