ISA/IEC 62443 and CRA: Reconciling International Standards and Regional Policy Making in Cybersecurity (November 13 2024 - 11 AM Standard Time)

The objective of this webinar is to explore the path towards achieving harmonized international standards and certification on a global scale. The narrative will delve into the challenging task of reconciling international standards with regional policy-making in the realm of cybersecurity, with a specific focus on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The discussion will address pertinent questions such as whether international standards can withstand the prevailing trend of regionalization, emphasizing reasons for their importance and survival. Additionally, the talk will shed light on how international standards can contribute to alleviating the shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape.

International standards bring the following value to regional policy making:

• They ensure global competitiveness and innovation of industries. 
• They help avoid Notified Bodies bottlenecks and delays to enter the regional market. 
• They assist in harmonizing requirements and enable mutual recognition agreements for cybersecurity. 
• They help avoid leaving small and medium enterprises behind (and therefore sever innovation). 
• They mitigate the costs of compliance and therefore the costs of products.
