Two Reports Highlight Knowledge Gaps and Best Practices for Open Source CRA Compliance

The Linux Foundation released two groundbreaking research reports exploring community-driven strategies to address open source security and the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The first report analyzes how three Linux Foundation projects meet CRA minimum compliance requirements, sharing best practices. The second report reveals significant knowledge gaps within the open source ecosystem regarding CRA awareness, with many respondents unfamiliar with the act and lacking compliance readiness. The reports recommend manufacturers take a more active role in open source security, calling for increased funding and legal support to foster better security practices.
