As the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) fundamentally reshapes cybersecurity expectations for digital products with embedded software, SYSGO strongly positions itself as a technology partner of choice for customers building secure, resilient and future-proof systems.
The CRA introduces far-reaching obligations that demand security by design, risk-based engineering, vulnerability management, long-term update support and supply-chain transparency across the entire lifecycle of embedded products. This regulatory shift presents significant challenges — especially for embedded engineers and system integrators operating in safety-critical markets where reliability and resilience are paramount.
SYSGO’s product portfolio has been engineered to deliver these attributes, as a foundation for CRA-aligned development and compliance strategies.
PikeOS, SYSGO’s real-time operating system (RTOS) and hypervisor, is built from the ground up to enforce spatial and temporal isolation between critical and non-critical functions. This architectural isolation reduces attack surface and enables independent verification of software components — an essential requirement under CRA’s security-by-design mandate.
PikeOS also carries a Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, providing a high assurance baseline that directly supports conformity assessment efforts and can ease future certification under evolving European cybersecurity schemes.
Simultaneously, ELinOS — SYSGO’s embedded Linux platform — brings a flexible, customisable Linux foundation with built-in cryptography, secure boot, secure updates and hardened configurations that help minimise risk exposure across embedded ecosystems.
A core CRA obligation is the ability to monitor, manage and patch vulnerabilities throughout the operational lifetime of a product. SYSGO addresses this through long-term maintenance with security patches and updates, extended beyond typical product lifecycles, structured vulnerability reporting and incident response processes backed by an ISO 27001 certified security organisation, and detailed security bulletins and documentation that assist engineers in fulfilling CRA risk management and disclosure requirements.
Such end-to-end support ensures that embedded systems remain robust against emerging threats, and that OEMs and Tier-1s can demonstrate their commitment to resilience throughout product evolution.
