With the entry into force of the Cyber Resilience Act, it has become essential that every product containing digital elements undergoes a cyber security assessment. The world is becoming more digital every day, and with that, the risk of cyberattacks is increasing significantly.
A cyber security assessment allows risks to be evaluated. Potential impacts are assessed and then minimised through cybersecurity solutions.
Why is a cyber security assessment important for your company?
With a functioning cyber security assessment, you can protect your network and systems with sensitive information and data from cyber threats. You are one step ahead, so to speak, and see these risks before they occur. That's why you can use Cybersecurity solutions ideally avoid the risks and, in the other case, at least minimize them.
It is particularly important for your company to protect the Internet of Things (IoT). The more such devices you use, the greater the risk of cyberattacks. This is where the Cyber Resiliance Act comes in. In Article 10, it obliges manufacturers to carry out cyber security risk assessments and find appropriate solutions.
The CRA clearly states that the manufacturer is obliged to minimize cyberattacks, prevent security incidents and keep the impact of such incidents as low as possible.
How is the cyber security risk assessment carried out?
It consists of three points that must be observed:
- What threats exist?
- How vulnerable is the company to these threats?
- What impact can a cyberattack have on the company?
It is also necessary to look at where there are potential vulnerabilities. To do this, the existing security architecture must be checked and analyzed. This could be unusual behavior in log files. But it can also be insecure settings and unauthorized changes.
What are the advantages of risk assessment for cybersecurity solutions?
