EU's Cyber Resilience Act Repercussions in Open Source - Nick Peacock, Cloudsmith

Open Source In Finance Forum 2024 - London

Title: EU's Cyber Resilience Act Repercussions in Open Source
Abstract: The EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) proposes stringent cybersecurity requirements for digital products, aiming to bolster security against cyberattacks. While it promises safer hardware and software, it also raises questions for Open Source contributors and organizations. Will they be liable for vulnerabilities in their code? Could this legislation stifle innovation or foster it? The final draft of the CRA removed the burdensome requirements on OSS contributors- a very near land mine for the OSS community. Join me in exploring these questions to understand how the CRA underscores the imperative for open source organizations to advocate for their interests in policymaking.
