One of the most impactful changes concerns the obligation to integrate cybersecurity as an essential element of product safety.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4137acd59a01cc488afcfb71e82c547e\"><strong>THE 2027 DEADLINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>As of 20 January 2027, compliance with cyber threat protection requirements will no longer be an option or a best practice, but a binding obligation for placing any machinery on the European Union market. This paradigm shift reflects the growing interconnection of industrial facilities and the need to prevent attacks that could compromise worker safety.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0a99fbf281aa4c8de64b57cdf7df179f\"><strong>WHAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST PROTECT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The new regulation focuses on protecting everything vital to the machine&#8217;s proper functioning. Specifically, manufacturers must ensure that:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No connection (remote or local) becomes a gateway to alter the machinery&#8217;s safety functions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software and critical data must be protected against tampering, whether accidental or intentional (cyberattacks);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control devices must be designed to withstand unauthorized access attempts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bc41364ab451c65152ea0e674ccfb55e\"><strong>THE PATH TO COMPLIANCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>To comply with the new regulation, the design process must include three fundamental steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Implementation of countermeasures: Adopt technical solutions (such as encryption, authentication, and logging systems) to neutralize or mitigate identified risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cyber threat analysis: Identify potential attack vectors specific to the type of machinery and its intended use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk assessment (ISO 12100): Integrate digital risks into the traditional mechanical and operational risk assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-553e3b9a68a1709307e4c4290bc900f8\"><strong>BEYOND HARDWARE: SOFTWARE AS A SAFETY COMPONENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p><p data-path-to-node=\"1\">Another major change is the recognition of software as an actual safety component. If software performs critical functions, it must be accompanied by its own technical documentation and, in some cases, independently CE marked. Post-sale updates must also be managed carefully: significant software modifications could constitute a &#8216;substantial modification&#8217;, requiring a new certification of the entire machinery.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0cefb5bc58cdc3cfea88e7516abcc717\"><strong>WHY ACT NOW<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Regulation 2023\/1230 pushes manufacturers toward a holistic vision of safety and security: it is no longer enough for a machine to be &#8216;physically&#8217; safe, it must also be &#8216;digitally&#8217; secure.
