## AI overview

This Linux Foundation post explains how Open Source Program Offices can help organizations prepare for the EU Cyber Resilience Act, including identifying affected products and dependencies, coordinating legal, security, engineering and procurement teams, and responding to vulnerability and incident reporting obligations.

## Source excerpt

For organizations offering products with digital elements in the EU, the next major Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) deadline arrives on 11 September 2026. From that date, organizations covered by the reporting obligations must be ready to assess actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents, coordinate an internal response and submit notifications within the required timelines.
