The software development market is about to get regulated by governments worldwide. In the European Union, we have many regulations coming that will change the process of creating and selling software for every party involved – from developers to sales. The manufacturers will be forced to take more responsibility for the cyber security in their products, work with compliance in relation to the new regulations and implement a product lifecycle management process with free and automatic security updates.
This regulation will cover all software sold on the EU market – from IoT devices, embedded systems, server applications to laptop software and mobile apps.
The customers – both consumers and on the commercial market – will get more transparency and abilities to monitor the health of the software products – regardless if it’s embedded in hardware or standalone software.
The Nordic Software Security Summit is an annual conference to gather participants from all areas of the industry and share knowledge about the new tools, processes and the impact of the new regulation.
