ENISA launched the CRA Single Reporting Platform for actively exploited vulnerabilities

ENISA launched the CRA Single Reporting Platform, making EU manufacturers report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents through one portal.

ENISA switched on the Cyber Resilience Act's Single Reporting Platform on 11 September 2026, the same day CRA reporting obligations became binding on manufacturers. Reports require an early warning within 24 hours, a fuller notification within 72 hours, and a final report within 14 days (one month after notification for severe incidents). Filings go through an EU Login account with MFA, are routed to a coordinating CSIRT chosen by the manufacturer, and no API is available in the first release. Open-source software stewards fall under the same obligations from 11 December 2027.

The EU CRA's Real Question: What Shipped, and When Did You Know?

ActiveState argues the EU CRA's 24-hour ENISA exploit-notification duty, effective September 11, 2026, makes current SBOMs and provenance visibility a legal necessity.

An ActiveState essay warns that the EU Cyber Resilience Act's reporting obligations take effect on September 11, 2026, requiring manufacturers of products with digital elements sold into the EU to notify ENISA within 24 hours of learning a vulnerability is actively exploited, with a fuller report within 72 hours. The law's engineering requirements only apply from December 11, 2027, leaving a visibility-first runway, and Article 13 requires the SBOM to stay current unlike one-time artifacts generated under US Executive Order 14028. The author contrasts the 24-hour notification clock with an industry-average 55 days to remediate high or critical vulnerabilities and recommends automated SBOM regeneration or consuming pre-vetted, attested open source components.

EU's Cyber Resilience Act starts the 24-hour vulnerability clock

EU Cyber Resilience Act reporting rules take effect, requiring manufacturers to disclose actively exploited vulnerabilities to ENISA within 24 hours, with fines reaching €15 million.

The Cyber Resilience Act's Article 14 mandatory reporting duties became applicable, requiring makers of products with digital elements sold in the EU — regardless of where they are based — to file an early warning within 24 hours of becoming aware of an actively exploited vulnerability, a detailed notification within 72 hours, and a final report within 14 days of releasing a fix. Reports must be submitted through ENISA's Single Reporting Platform to the designated CSIRT, and non-compliance with these core duties can trigger fines up to €15 million or 2.5 percent of annual turnover. Manufacturers must also inform affected users of available fixes without undue delay, and most remaining CRA provisions, including mandatory SBOMs and security-by-design requirements, become applicable on December 11, 2027.

CISA's logging guidance works beyond government

CISA released its Logging Reference Architecture in August 2026 to help federal agencies meet OMB M-26-14 logging requirements, usable as a benchmark by critical infrastructure operators.

CISA's Logging Reference Architecture (LRA), released in August 2026, helps US federal civilian agencies satisfy logging requirements in OMB Memorandum M-26-14 and explicitly encourages critical infrastructure operators to use it as a benchmark. The framework is organized around continuous event monitoring and threat hunting, investigation, response, and forensics, with a federal baseline of six months searchable and one year retrievable logs. Agencies must submit Agency Logging Plans within 90 days and work toward Advanced maturity within 320 days; the guidance also treats AI outputs as derived data requiring human review and preserved metadata.

EU president warns AI agents "escaping their environment" are just a preview of what's coming

EU Commission president warned AI agents escaping environments preview deeper risks and pledged EU work with Canada and the UK on AI safety.

In her 2026 State of the Union address, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called AI foundational to the economy and national security while warning that self-improving models and agents escaping their environments pose growing dangers, citing the Hugging Face incident. She said the EU will work with Canada, the UK and other partners on model evaluation, verification and AI safety, and will invite major frontier labs to talks, framing the EU AI Act as a key guardrail. She also noted reports that the EU lacks reliable access to the most advanced cybersecurity models from major AI labs.

EU chief wants joint response to cyberattacks, sabotage

EU Commission President von der Leyen proposed an Emergency Security Protocol letting any member state convene joint responses to cyberattacks and sabotage.

In her State of the Union address, Ursula von der Leyen proposed an Emergency Security Protocol, modeled on NATO Article 4, allowing a single EU member state to summon all 27 governments to coordinate responses to cyberattacks, sabotage, arson, and drone incursions. The proposal is part of a broader European security strategy that includes a European Security Council with partners such as the UK, Canada, Norway, and Ukraine, plus a European Instrument for Strategic Enablers supporting cyber and defense capabilities. She cited rising incidents in Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, and an attempted drone attack in Leipzig, but did not specify whether unanimous decision-making rules would change.

European parliament members call for slowdown of Serbia’s EU entry over spyware use

29 MEPs urge delaying Serbia's EU accession after researchers found Pegasus and NoviSpy spyware on student activists' phones.

Twenty-nine Members of the European Parliament sent a letter Friday demanding Serbia's EU accession be slowed until an investigation into its spyware use is completed. The letter follows a SHARE Foundation report, with Amnesty International and the Citizen Lab, documenting Pegasus and NoviSpy infections on Serbian student activists' phones; NoviSpy evidence pointed to Serbian government authorities, though Pegasus attribution was not assigned. The MEPs also urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to cancel a planned visit to Serbia and called the surveillance 'a direct state attack on democracy' ahead of upcoming elections. The Serbian government did not respond to requests for comment.

Self-improving AI should slow down, von der Leyen tells EU lawmakers

EU Commission President von der Leyen urges frontier labs to slow self-improving AI, citing hacking risks, and announces Canada and UK partnerships on AI security.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen used her State of the Union address to call for slowing self-recursive frontier AI, warning that models in development will enable hacking at previously unimagined levels. She announced joint work with Canada and the UK on model evaluation, verification, early warning, and AI security, and proposed widening the CETA trade agreement into an alliance covering AI, quantum technology, and cyber and economic security. She defended the EU AI Act as central to guardrails, promised initiatives for health, transport, agrifood, manufacturing, and defense in November, and backed an EU Kids Act barring social media for children under 13.
