Since 11 September 2026, manufacturers selling products with digital elements in the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. At the same time, more than 48,000 CVEs were published in 2025. Attackers increasingly exploit vulnerabilities before developers know they exist. Legacy scanners add to the problem with thousands of findings, many of them false positives.

Our service closes that gap. Keysight’s proprietary AI framework tests in an isolated sandbox whether each vulnerability is actually reachable and exploitable, drastically reducing false positives. For confirmed vulnerabilities, it automatically generates and verifies patches, ready for your team to review and deploy.

Every step is recorded, so your engineers focus on real risk, your releases stay on schedule, and you have audit-ready evidence for CRA reporting.

The AI Race Against Time

More vulnerabilities, discovered faster, exploited sooner.

What the CRA Expects

Manufacturers must notify ENISA and their national CSIRT in three stages, starting just 24 hours after becoming aware of an exploited vulnerability.

Ready to Report In 24 Hours?

To meet each deadline, you need answers fast:

  • Are these real vulnerabilities, not just potential weaknesses?
  • Are they reachable and exploitable in your product?
  • Is a verified fix available, or can one be generated quickly?

The CRA Vulnerability Management Gap

The CRA makes you responsible for every vulnerability in your product, whether it’s in your own code, a third-party component or an open-source library. The obligations are fixed in law, while the workload behind them keeps growing.

package

More Code, Faster Releases

AI-driven development means more code, more dependencies and shorter release cycles. Every release brings new first-party, third-party and open-source components, and new chances for gaps.

scales

Hard to Prioritize

Without exploitability evidence, severity scores alone drive the queue. Teams spend effort on noise while real risk waits.

No Proof of Risk

Scanners flag thousands of findings, but rarely show whether a vulnerability is reachable, exploitable and relevant in your product.

report

Thin Audit Trail

Internal code and external components are often managed in separate workflows, with decisions scattered across tickets, chats and spreadsheets. Assembling traceable, audit-ready evidence within 24 or 72 hours is close to impossible.

AI-enabled Vulnerability Remediation, Built into Your Development Cycle

Keysight AI Analysis for CRA is an AI-driven code analysis service with vulnerability management that automates the entire vulnerability life cycle. Built on Keysight's security expertise, our proprietary AI-powered framework identifies vulnerabilities, tests whether they can be exploited, suggests and validates fixes, and documents every step.

CRA Evidence

Creates traceable, audit-ready records for vulnerability handling, coordinated disclosure, incident reporting and conformity assessment.

What to Expect In A Project
handshake

Onboarding

You share access to your source code repository and environment details. Because we analyze source code, not binaries, every finding points to the exact line, and fixes arrive as ready-to-merge patches.

Initial Assessment

Keysight assesses the prerequisites and resolves blockers with you before the full analysis.

AI Analysis and Validation

Our framework collects SCA data and runs AI-driven SAST, then spins up a sandbox to test reachability and exploitability and to verify each patch.
