Enforcement of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) - Madelein van der Hout - BSW #381

From online banking to mobile payments, nearly every aspect of our financial lives relies on digital systems. This reliance has brought incredible convenience, but it also means that any disruption — whether due to cyberattacks, system failures, or operational incidents— can have severe consequences.    The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) provides the framework to ensure that financial entities have robust measures to withstand and recover from disruptions. By addressing vulnerabilities in this highly digitized ecosystem, DORA not only protects financial institutions but also safeguards the stability and well-being of the European society as a whole.

Madelein van der Hout, Senior Analyst at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why DORA is important, how prepared financial institutions are, the consequences of failing to comply, and the impact these regulations will have outside of the EU, including fines up to 2% of global annual turnover or €10 million—whichever is higher.
