CRACoWi project

👏 Thank you Katherine Leese (SevenShift) for contributing to such an important discussion and for presenting #CRACoWi from a practical implementation perspective. As highlighted during the event, cyber resilience today goes far beyond compliance itself. It requires organisations to connect prevention, detection, response, and recovery into one continuous process - and that is exactly why practical tools, collaboration, and knowledge exchange between initiatives matter. This is how CRA requirements start turning into something organisations can actually understand and implement. #CRA #Collaboration #EUProjects#European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) #CyberResilienceAct #Cybersecurity ____________ ITML | ONEKEY | Motor Oil | MORE (Motor Oil Renewable Energy) | Bureau Veritas | Tiko Pro - EU Funding Navigator | SLOA Limited | AppArt | erminas GmbH | SevenShift | MEAZON | DIH Slovenije | Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost

🎯 #CRACoWi recently participated in the Cluster Synergies Webinar held on 22 April, an event that brought together EU-funded #cybersecurity projects to exchange insights, present ongoing work, and explore areas of alignment. While such events are often framed as dissemination activities, their real value lies in something deeper - connecting initiatives that are addressing the same regulatory and technical challenges from different angles. During the session, Pablo Endres (SevenShift) and Sandra Bortek (Tiko Pro) presented the CRACoWi project, focusing on three key elements: 🔸The development of tools supporting CRA compliance 🔸The current progress and direction of the project 🔸The CRAcademy, which provides structured training and practical guidance to help organisations better understand and implement CRA requirements. Engaging with other EU initiatives also opens the door to joint dissemination, shared learning, and potential integration of approaches, ultimately increasing the impact of all projects involved. Many thanks to CyberSecDome - EU project for the invite, a other colleagues for participation: COcyber, CoEvolution EU Project, CONSOLE Project, Resilmesh, CUSTODES EU Project, RESCALE Project, SYNAPSE Project. 🎥 The recording of the webinar is available here: https://lnkd.in/eKq52bn5 #CRA #Collaboration #EUProjects#European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) #CyberResilienceAct #Cybersecurity ____________ ITML | ONEKEY | Motor Oil | MORE (Motor Oil Renewable Energy) | Bureau Veritas | Tiko Pro - EU Funding Navigator | SLOA Limited | AppArt | erminas GmbH | SevenShift | MEAZON | DIH Slovenije | Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost

📢 #CRACoWi at CRA Standards Unlocked - EU Tour Malta We will be joining online the upcoming CRA Cluster (hybrid) event in Malta on 21 May 2026, and you can be there too! The event brings together EU projects, industry, and standardisation experts to discuss how the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) moves from regulation into practice - with a strong focus on standards and implementation. For us, these discussions matter. They are where alignment happens, where gaps become visible, and where projects can actually connect their work into something useful for SMEs and manufacturers. If you are working with #CRA, cybersecurity, or product compliance, this is a good place to be. Join us online or in Malta. 👉 More info and registration: https://lnkd.in/dWUtcpeD CYBERSTAND.eu European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) #CyberResilienceAct #Cybersecurity ____________ ITML | ONEKEY | Motor Oil | MORE (Motor Oil Renewable Energy) | Bureau Veritas | Tiko Pro - EU Funding Navigator | SLOA Limited | AppArt | erminas GmbH | SevenShift | MEAZON | DIH Slovenije | Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost

🛡 #Cybersecurity in #SMEs often happens behind the scenes - until something goes wrong.  Many smaller companies don’t have dedicated security teams. Instead, security responsibilities are shared across developers, engineers, and managers working under tight deadlines.  The Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) is helping change this by encouraging clearer processes, traceability, and collaboration across teams and supply chains. For SMEs, this doesn’t mean building huge security departments. Often it starts with practical steps: better documentation, shared responsibility, and stronger awareness across the organisation. Insights like these are explored in the latest CRACoWi newsletter, featuring real experiences from companies working with cybersecurity in practice. 👉 Follow CRACoWi project to stay updated on CRA developments and cybersecurity insights for SMEs. #CyberResilience #DigitalEurope #SMEs #SecureByDesign #CRACoWi 

🎯 Great to see our partners from erminas GmbH, Yvette Teiken and Ruben Brick, representing #CRACOWI at HANNOVER MESSE. Events like this are where ideas meet reality - connecting with industry, sharing insights, and bringing EU project results closer to real-world application. It’s also a great opportunity to exchange perspectives and understand what companies actually need on the ground. 📍 If you’re attending, you can still meet them in Hannover - until 24 April. Make sure to stop by, say hello, and learn more about what we’re working on. #CRACoWi #HannoverMesse #Cybersecurity #EUProjects #Innovation

🎯 We often talk about collaboration between EU projects, but the real question is: does it actually happen in a meaningful way? This week, we are again joining the Cluster Synergies Webinar - 2nd Edition - not just to present, but to listen, compare approaches, and challenge how we are building solutions across projects. Working on initiatives like #CRACoWi, it’s clear that no single project can solve the complexity of #cybersecurity, compliance, or the Cyber Resilience Act alone. The value comes from connecting the dots - aligning tools, sharing lessons, and avoiding fragmented efforts. For us, these exchanges are not a formality. They directly influence how we shape what we build and how useful it becomes for the people who actually need it. Many thanks to CyberSecDome - EU project for the invite. Looking forward to the discussion. #CRACoWi #Cybersecurity #EUProjects #Collaboration #CRA #CyberResilienceAct

🛡 For many SMEs, cybersecurity incidents quickly become organisational stress tests.  When a vulnerability appears, the questions start immediately: - Which component is affected?  - Which products use it?  - Which customers might be impacted?  - Is there already a patch available? Without clear structures, teams often have to investigate everything under pressure while responding to customers and partners. The Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) aims to improve this situation by encouraging organisations to introduce clearer processes, documentation, and responsibilities across the lifecycle of digital products. 👉 Stay updated on CRA developments and practical cybersecurity insights by following CRACoWi project.  #CyberSecurity #DigitalProducts #SMEs #EURegulation #CyberPreparedness #CRACoWi

📢 #CRAcademy Webinar 3 with Michael Beine The final step of CRA compliance is not interpretation - it is demonstration. Join Michael Beine, recognised expert in regulatory cybersecurity compliance, for the third CRAcademy session. 📅 14 April 2026 | 11:00–12:00 CET With 20+ years in Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC), and hands-on experience with CRA, RED-DA, and IEC 62443 auditing, Michael brings a perspective that goes beyond theory - into how compliance is actually assessed. This webinar focuses on the final and most critical phase of CRA readiness: conformity assessment procedures, the rules and logic behind CE marking, and the ongoing obligations related to vulnerability handling and reporting. You will learn how CRA compliance moves from internal preparation to formal assessment, market placement, and post-market obligations, and how vulnerability handling becomes a continuous compliance requirement rather than a one-off activity. 🎯 Free participation 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dK-wZHKh #CRACoWi #CRAcademy #CyberResilienceAct #Cybersecurity #Compliance #ProductSecurity European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) CYBERSTAND.eu ____________ ITML | ONEKEY | Motor Oil | MORE (Motor Oil Renewable Energy) | Bureau Veritas | Tiko Pro | SLOA Limited | AppArt | erminas GmbH | SevenShift | MEAZON | DIH Slovenije | Urad Vlade Republike Slovenije za informacijsko varnost
