Fireside Chat on Delivering Operational Resilience in Financial Services

Fireside Chat on Delivering Operational Resilience in Financial
Services
The EU has adopted a comprehensive and financial services sector-wide framework for ICT operational
resilience. Key elements of the framework include threat-led penetration testing and a new comprehensive
incident reporting framework.
This includes a new oversight framework by financial services supervisors for
global IT companies providing critical services to the industry, including the possibility of onsite inspections.
What cyber and ICT threats is the financial services industry currently facing?
What are the current steps taken
by EU supervisors to implement DORA?
When are we expected to see the start of the designation process of
critical third-party ICT providers? How will thread-led penetration testing work in reality?
Given the broad scope,
how will DORA accommodate proportionality without increasing ICT vulnerabilities?
How does DORA relate to
the various initiatives underway in the area of operational resilience by international standard setting bodies?
How does DORA compare with the planned UK framework?
