Guidance for EU Cyber Resilience Act on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how to secure IoT device fleets throughout their lifecycle while meeting EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance requirements through automated certificate management, threat detection, and incident reporting. IoT devices receive secure x.509 certificates during manufacturing and store them in their Trusted Platform Module, enabling automatic provisioning on first connection. AWS IoT Device Management maintains device security over the required 5-year minimum support period through secure over-the-air firmware updates, while AWS IoT Device Defender continuously monitors for threats and automatically rotates compromised certificates. Security events are consolidated in Amazon CloudWatch with 10+ year retention for EU CRA auditing, and severe cybersecurity incidents are automatically reported to ENISA and national CSIRTs through the EU's designated reporting platform. You can automate IoT security operations from device provisioning through decommissioning while maintaining continuous EU CRA compliance, reducing manual security management overhead and accelerating incident response.

Benefits

    Deploy a comprehensive IoT security architecture that satisfies EU Cyber Resilience Act requirements including five-year device support, automated incident reporting to ENISA, and hardware backed authentication with minimal operational overhead.

    Streamline device provisioning, certificate management, and firmware updates with automated workflows that reduce manual errors while maintaining continuous security monitoring and threat detection across your entire IoT fleet.

    Detect security anomalies in near real-time and trigger automated remediation workflows including certificate rotation and threat investigation, reducing exposure windows while maintaining comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance.
