Perinet GmbH: Leading a Revolutionary Vision in Cybersecurity Standards
Berlin, November 28th, 2024
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), a European Union regulation (EU 2024/2847), takes effect on December 11, 2024, the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (DKE) has announced. Designed to enhance cybersecurity for products with digital components, the CRA introduces stringent requirements that will reshape industry practices and elevate security standards across the European market.
Dr. Karsten Walther, CEO of Perinet GmbH: “We anticipated the CRA's requirements and are committed to deliver compliant products with seamless integration. By doing so, Perinet is setting a benchmark for the industry and paving the way for the future of secure digital technologies”.
Challenges for OEMs under the CRA
The CRA brings significant implications for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), introducing new challenges such as:
- Increased Compliance Costs: Adhering to the CRA’s strict cybersecurity standards may require investments in new technologies, processes, and certifications.
- Strict Deadlines: Compliance requirements begin in 2027, leaving OEMs limited time to update products and systems.
- Liability and Penalties: Non-compliance risks include legal and financial repercussions, such as product recalls, fines, or market bans.
- Disruption to Supply Chains: Harmonized European Standards may necessitate re-evaluating suppliers to ensure compliance.
Benefits of the Perinet CRA Commitment for OEMs

- Market Advantage: Adopting CRA-compliant solutions positions OEMs as leaders in cybersecurity, offering a distinct competitive edge.

- Long-Term Cost Savings: Strengthened cybersecurity reduces risks of breaches, product recalls, and associated expenses.
- Future-Proofing: Aligning with the CRA prepares OEMs for similar regulations globally, enabling smoother international expansion.
By proactively addressing these challenges, OEMs can leverage the CRA to strengthen their competitive position and contribute to a more secure digital ecosystem. Perinet GmbH exemplifies this proactive spirit, offering innovative solutions that are committed to align seamlessly with the CRA's vision for the future of cybersecurity and solidifying its reputation as a leader in the field.
