This white paper is designed for CISOs, security leaders, and risk managers responsible for DORA compliance and operational resilience in financial services organizations.
Key takeaways:
- DORA introduces a new regulatory mandate focused on digital operational resilience, requiring organizations to prevent, respond to, and recover from ICT-related incidents.
- Traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient; microsegmentation is essential to contain breaches and prevent lateral movement.
- The Akamai Guardicore Platform maps directly to the five pillars of DORA, supporting ICT risk management, incident response, resilience testing, third-party risk, and threat intelligence sharing.
- A Zero Trust approach powered by microsegmentation enables organizations to protect crown jewel applications, secure legacy systems, and prove resilience to regulators.
