Our experts will demonstrate the tools and techniques used by Element’s product cybersecurity testing laboratory to assess whether devices meet the Cyber Resilience Act’s minimum mandatory requirements. Using a black-box approach, devices are tested in realistic conditions while communications are intercepted, recorded, and analysed to identify security features and evaluate responses to malicious inputs. Visitors can also explore our interactive Cyber Resilience Act scoping software. This user-friendly tool helps manufacturers identify relevant threats, determine required Security Objectives, and select appropriate Technical Controls. It streamlines the initial stages of CRA compliance, making the process more intuitive, efficient, and manageable.
