The Core Objectives:

Vulnerability Management: Ensuring products are launched without known exploitable vulnerabilities.

Lifecycle Responsibility: Manufacturers must remain responsible for cybersecurity throughout the product's entire lifecycle.

Mandatory Requirements: Introducing strict rules for the design, development, and maintenance of digital products.

Broad Scope: The act covers everything from industrial control systems (ICS) to everyday consumer smart devices.
