Episode notes
In this episode, we demystify the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and explore why it matters for financial institutions. Joining us are cybersecurity and cloud experts Simon Phillips (CTO, SecureAck) and Alex Tasioulis (Cloudified.io), who shed light on the regulation’s core requirements and practical implications. Key insights from our discussion include: > What DORA really entails for banks and fintechs ahead of the January 2025 deadline > Why references to “reasonable” controls can create ambiguity - and the challenges this poses > How the regulation impacts far more than just banks, extending throughout the entire digital supply chain > Real-world examples of why digital resilience is crucial, from major outages to cybersecurity breaches > Practical tips for achieving compliance without imposing overly restrictive processes. Whether you’re leading a fintech firm, working in financial services, or simply eager to strengthen digital resilience, this episode offers valuable guidance on preparing for DORA compliance.
