Cybersecurity Regulation: a Challenge or Opportunity? How Telcos Can Turn Compliance into Revenue Growth

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is here, and it’s reshaping the role of telcos across Europe. For many, it’s a compliance challenge. For others, it’s a strategic opportunity to drive growth and innovation.

Why the CRA Matters to Telcos

The CRA requires telcos to take greater responsibility for protecting their subscribers, including integrating robust cybersecurity directly into networks and customer premises equipment (CPE). While the regulatory framework is clear, the opportunity to enhance your business is even more compelling:

Deliver value-added cybersecurity: Build trust and increase ARPU by providing enterprise-grade security for residential and SMB markets.

Improve subscriber experience: Reduce junk traffic, improve network efficiency, and boost QoE, leading to better retention and reduced churn.

Achieve competitive differentiation: Position your telco as a leader in proactive cybersecurity, offering a service that builds loyalty and meets regulatory demands.

How Telcos Can Seize the Opportunity

The CRA isn’t just about compliance, it’s about transforming how you engage with subscribers. Here’s how to make the most of this opportunity:

1. Embed Security into CPE
Seamlessly integrate AI-driven cybersecurity solutions into routers and other devices. This ensures network-wide protection without additional hardware requirements or service interruptions.

2. Leverage Predictive AI
Implement tools that predict and block threats before they impact subscribers. BlackDice’s AI-driven platform stops junk traffic at its source, freeing bandwidth and improving network performance.

3. Develop a Winning Go-to-Market Strategy
Turn compliance into a revenue opportunity by incorporating cybersecurity into your value-added services. Showcase this offering to customers as a proactive step toward their safety and convenience.

4. Focus on QoE Improvements
By proactively addressing threats and reducing network strain, telcos can deliver a smoother, faster, and more reliable internet experience for their subscribers.
