Leveraging EN 17927 for Streamlined IoT Security Compliance in the Face of Evolving EU Regulations (D22a)
In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, the need for robust IoT security has never been more critical. This talk will delve into the pivotal role of EN 17927 (Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP)) in preparing industries for upcoming European Union legislation, such as the amendments to the Radio Equipment Directive and the forthcoming Cyber Resilience Act. By streamlining compliance processes and providing a unified framework for security evaluation, EN 17927 facilitates easier adaptation to new regulations, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness. The talk will also explore how EN 17927 promotes industry-wide collaboration through GlobalPlatform, enhancing overall IoT security standards. Furthermore, it will discuss the advantages of modularity and composition in demonstrating conformance to essential cybersecurity requirements, as proposed by the CRA, and the benefits of leveraging existing standards to simplify compliance across various sectors. Through practical examples from industries such as automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how EN 17927 can harmonize disparate regulations and elevate the security posture of IoT devices.
