Panel 1 – The Cyber Resilience Act: Policy concerns and the role of the FOSS community
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), in 2023, is at the centre of all open source policy discussions. These security procedures could discourage the development and distribution of open source. Not only would this harm the strategic autonomy of the EU’s citizens, companies and governments, but harming open source could also cause the CRA to backfire because less open source means fewer possibilities to perform security audits and fewer possibilities to work on the security of software we use. This panel focused on how to safeguard OSS and the benefits it brings in terms of innovation, strategic autonomy, EU competitiveness and security.
