The CRA obligation most teams miss: it covers everything you still support, including devices shipped long ago. Sept 11, 2026: Exploited vulnerabilities must hit ENISA in 24 hours, for every product. Our Head of Policy and Compliance, Doc McConnell, breaks it down.

The CRA's first major deadline is September 11, 2026.

From that date, manufacturers have just 24 hours to report actively exploited vulnerabilities. Compliance requires more than documentation. It demands continuous visibility and rapid impact assessment.

Could your team meet the Article 14 timeline today?

Finite State runs product security continuously alongside your team, from first commit through end of support, generating audit-ready evidence at every stage without holding up a release.

We call it the Parallel Rail.

When an audit, customer security review, or new CVE lands, the answer is already in hand. See how it works: https://t.co/qBOSOsB4kg

In @WIRED, Joshua Marpet weighs in on the FCC router ban and what happens when the waiver expires March 1, 2027. 🌐

"Even that boring beige box ISP router will stop getting security patches." 🚨

Older devices invite compromise. Know your firmware.

Most IoT teams have an SBOM. Far fewer have one that traces to the firmware they actually shipped. Audit-readiness starts long before the auditor shows up.

A monitor sees what your firmware does, not what it's made of, for example, a library that quietly hit end-of-life. Pre-ship analysis tells you what's in the build and what's actually reachable.

More from our CSO, Sharon Hagi, on how pre-ship and runtime fit together:
