The Cyber Resilience Act Reporting Obligations Now Apply. The Design Work Came Earlier
The EU Cyber Resilience Act entered into force on 10 December 2024. Its reporting obligations apply as of 11 September 2026 and its main obligations from 11 December 2027.

Hardware Holds Almost 60% of Interactive Kiosk Spending, and the Growth Segments Want Different Hardware
SNS Insider puts the global interactive kiosk market at USD 37.57 billion in 2025, with hardware accounting for almost 60% of it.

For hardware suppliers, that changes what a kiosk order looks like.
