The recently adopted Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) signals the introduction of a comprehensive legislative and regulatory framework with cybersecurity and resilience rules applicable to all financial services operators in the EU ecosystem. Upon the application of these rules, financial entities will be required to have set up internal strategies, policies and practices to address Digital Resilience in their function and the provision of critical services by third parties. DORA  is a major milestone in how FSIs will approach risk management, introducing modern, dynamic and adaptive capabilities. Those changes and challenges will be addressed during this Digital Thursday close up, that will bring together banks, regulators and other cybersecurity experts to discuss how DORA shapes the sector’s cybersecurity landscape and how its requirements can be realistically implemented in practice.
