EU CRA: Your Software Self-Assessment Playbook

Alright, software creators. The EU Cyber Resilience Act is live, and if you're building games, apps, uncritical software components, paid libraries, or engines, you need a plan. This isn't about complex machinery or medical devices; this is about your software-only products.
