    Eclipse Foundation announces collaboration for CRA compliance

    Description:
    The Eclipse Foundation , the organization
    behind the Eclipse IDE and many other software projects, announced a collaboration between several different open-source-software foundations to create a specification describing secure software development best practices. This work is motivated by the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
    The leading open source communities and foundations have for
    years developed and practised secure software development
    processes. These are processes that have often defined or set
    industry best practices around things such as coordinated
    disclosure, peer review, and release processes. These processes
    have been documented by each of these communities, albeit
    sometimes using different terminology and approaches. We
    hypothesise that the cybersecurity process technical
    documentation that already exists amongst the open source
    communities can provide a useful starting point for developing
    the cybersecurity processes required for regulatory compliance. (Thanks to Martin Michlmayr.)
