Webinar – Simplify CRA Compliance for Your Existing MCU-Based Designs

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is reshaping cybersecurity expectations for connected and digital products across industries. While many organizations are focused on security requirements for future designs, a pressing challenge remains: how do you improve the security posture of products that are already deployed in the field?

This webinar provides a practical framework for assessing current MCU-based products and identifying improvements that can help support CRA compliance efforts. Marc McComb, Technical Marketing Manager, and David Sorensen, Technical Marketing Manager for Microchip Technology discuss how organizations can leverage documentation, risk assessments, and targeted security enhancements to demonstrate due diligence and reduce risk. They examine methods for determining when incremental improvements can provide meaningful security benefits and when a more significant architectural update may be warranted.

What You'll Learn

• Evaluate existing MCU-based products against evolving cybersecurity expectations and regulatory requirements.
• Use documentation and risk assessments to identify security gaps and support compliance initiatives.
• Prioritize security enhancements such as:
• Secure boot
• Secure firmware updates
• Authentication mechanisms
• Cryptographic key protection
• Develop a realistic roadmap that balances security improvements, development resources, and product lifecycle goals.
• Determine when targeted security updates are sufficient and when a complete product redesign should be considered.
