Introduction
In these uncertain times where many businesses are transitioning from physical to virtual operations and most people are working remotely, financial entities have seen their dependency on Information and Communication Technologies (“ICT”) increasing. The current environment and situation have also led to an increase in attention on the considerable business impacts that ICT risks pose. The number and aggressiveness of cyber threats have been steadily growing lately in fact, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (“ENISA”) has indicated a rise in Phishing, Identity Theft, and Ransomware.
The European Commission has been strengthening the financial resilience of the EU financial sector, adopting measures aimed at increasing the capital resources and liquidity of financial entities, as well as reducing market and credit risks. In this context and after consultation, the digital finance package, adopted on the 24th September 2020 by the European Commission includes a digital finance strategy and legislative proposals on crypto-assets and digital resilience.
As a matter of fact, the Commission proposed to introduce a financial services Digital Operational Resilience Act (“DORA”). The Digital Operational Resilience Act will introduce, inter alia, new regulatory and supervisory mandates in respect of critical ICT third party providers, harmonized rules for digital operational resilience testing, harmonized ICT incident classification reporting, and harmonized ICT risk management rules. Many market participants will be impacted by DORA, including the traditional financial sector entities such as credit institutions, stock exchanges and clearing houses, UCITS management companies, alternative fund managers (“IFMs”), insurance companies, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, as well as crypto-asset service providers, issuers of crypto-assets and issuers of asset-referenced tokens.
Session Outline
During this 1-hour session we will aim to address the below topics:
- What is DORA?
- Requirements for compliance with DORA
- Synergies with existing relevant regulations
