i46 and Fly Pipper Announce Partnership for EU Cyber Resilience Act Compliance in Singapore IoT Sector

Press Release

Prague, Czech Republic & Singapore – [02/01/2024]

i46 s.r.o., a Czech cybersecurity startup, and Fly Pipper Consulting Group Pte. Ltd., a multidisciplines

consulting firm based in Singapore with focus areas on Cybersecurity, AI/ML, Go-

To-Market, Talent Management and HR Strategy, today announced a strategic partnership to

help Singapore IoT manufacturers navigate the challenges of the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act

(CRA) and ensure uninterrupted access to the European market.

The newly formed alliance combines i46’s cutting-edge CRA compliance software and EUauthorized

representative services with Fly Pipper’s deep expertise in the Singapore

cybersecurity landscape and its leading market actors.

This powerful synergy will empower Singapore companies to meet the stringent

requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act with ease and confidence.

i46’s flagship software simplifies CRA compliance with a comprehensive suite of features,

including:

• Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) creation: Generating a detailed inventory of all

software components within an IoT device, crucial for vulnerability identification and

patching.

• Device penetration detection: Proactively identifying and mitigating potential security

vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.

• Handling of reporting requirements and cybersecurity assessment

Beyond software, i46 also acts as an EU-authorized representative, fulfilling the legal

obligations of Singapore companies under the Cyber Resilience Act by acting as their official

point of contact with European authorities. This eliminates the need for Singapore companies

to establish costly subsidiaries within the EU.

Fly Pipper’s role in the partnership is multifaceted. Leveraging their extensive experience in

the Singaporean market, they will help i46 raise awareness among Singapore IoT

manufacturers about the upcoming CRA requirements and their potential impact on EU

market access.

Further, Fly Pipper consultants will provide strategic guidance to help Singapore companies

navigate the complexities of the CRA compliance process and offer localized support

throughout the implementation of i46’s software and EU-authorized representative services.

“The Cyber Resilience Act presents both challenges and opportunities for Singapore IoT

companies,” said Erel Rosenberg, CEO of i46. “Through our partnership with Fly Pipper, we

aim to empower Singapore manufacturers to not only comply with the CRA but also leverage

it as a competitive advantage, demonstrating their commitment to building secure and

trustworthy products.”

Kok Rie Ooi, Managing Partner of Fly Pipper, added, “We are excited to partner with i46 and

offer their industry-leading CRA compliance solutions to our clients in Singapore. This

partnership represents a significant step forward in ensuring the continued success of

Singapore IoT companies in the European market.”
