• Abstract: The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a new European Union (EU) regulation aimed at enhancing the security of digital products and services by ensuring they meet stringent cybersecurity requirements. This paper investigates the challenges that industrial equipment manufacturing companies anticipate while preparing for compliance with CRA through a comprehensive survey. Key findings highlight significant hurdles such as implementing secure development lifecycle practices, managing vulnerability notifications within strict timelines, and addressing gaps in cybersecurity expertise. This study provides insights into these specific challenges and offers targeted recommendations on key focus areas, such as tooling improvements, to aid industrial equipment manufacturers in their preparation for CRA compliance.
