Dear EDRis,
Thank you for allowing me to cross-post this so everyone has seen it:
While the overall work on the Cyber Resilience Act
<https://edri.org/our-work/the-cyber-resilience-act-how-to-make-europe-more-digitally-resilient/>
is going rather well (as compared to other legislative dossiers I
assume), one of the problems that still persists: The EP wants to compel
manufacturers of connected devices to notify the EU's Agency for
Cybersecurity ENISA
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Agency_for_Cybersecurity>
about details of unpatched security vulnerabilities.
Given EU member states' track record of state-sanctions hacking, we
believe it's a bad idea to create government-run databases full of
zero-day exploits.
I have therefore drafted an open letter to lawmakers working on the CRA
<https://cloud.edri.org/index.php/s/aK6BJD2DpTs2JkF> to fix that problem
and would like to kindly ask you to *co-sign it individually if you can
_by Monday, 12 June at noon_*.
Please also let me know should you have any major concerns with the
draft letter.
Thanks a lot!
Jan
