DORA: The Financial Sector’s Secret Weapon Against Cyber Shenanigans! 🚀
Digital operational resilience testing isn’t just about fancy tech—it’s also about keeping the human firewall strong. Under DORA, real-world simulations like phishing attacks train staff to spot threats, ensuring they’re not just clicking ‘reply all’ on suspicious emails. Because nothing says “we’re secure” quite like a team that knows “Delete” is a valid option!
Hot Take:
Who knew that the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) was more than just an old-timey explorer with a talking backpack?
