European Union: Signed EU-US administrative Arrangement on Joint CyberSafe Products Action Plan

On 30 January 2024, the European Union and the United States (US) signed an Administrative Arrangement on a Joint CyberSafe Products Action Plan. The plan aims to advance technical cooperation to support the goal of achieving mutual recognition in the area of cybersecurity requirements for Internet-of-things (IoT) hardware and software consumer products. The agreement was signed by US Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies Anne Neuberger and Director General Roberto Viola for the Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) of the European Commission. The plan builds on the EU Cyber Resilience Act framework and the proposed US cybersecurity labelling programme, the US Cyber Trust Mark.
