9th VERE Panel Event in Hamburg

Connected Products, Connected Risks – Cybersecurity as Key to EU Market Access

Connected products, software, and embedded AI are fundamentally reshaping modern devices – and creating new regulatory challenges. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities are increasingly translating into physical safety risks, making cybersecurity a core element of product liability and market access in the EU.

In his presentation at the 9th VERE Panel Event, Dr. Benedikt Rohrßen will provide a practical perspective on how regulatory requirements – particularly under the Cyber Resilience Act, EU product safety law, and the evolving liability framework – interact. The focus will be on the concrete implications for CE marking, product development, and the allocation of responsibilities along the supply chain.

While the event will take place in German, there will be LIVE-TRANSLATION onto headsets into English through interpreter at the venue.
