In recent decades, profound technological innovation has driven a significant evolution in the financial sector, fueled by increasing interconnection and regulatory advancements, making a structured approach to digital resilience essential. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) represents a milestone in the European Union’s strategy to strengthen ICT risk management and operational resilience in this context. Due to the growing reliance of financial institutions on digital infrastructures and third-party service providers, this groundbreaking regulation aims to harmonize cybersecurity and resilience standards across the EU. However, implementing DORA presents significant challenges, as organizations are required to integrate its requirements into their governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks.
