Board Training DORA

Board Training DORA is an e-learning training program designed to provide administrators and business executives with fundamental skills in cyber risk management. This need is expressly indicated by the EU DORA Regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act), which emphasizes how digital resilience is now a strategic element for the stability of the financial system, in an increasingly interconnected and digitalized context.

The Regulation assigns specific responsibilities to the management bodies of financial entities, called upon to approve and supervise ICT risk management policies, to stay constantly informed about cyber threats, and finally to ensure that the organization is equipped with adequate operational resilience measures.

The Training is aimed at members of management bodies (e.g., board and top management) of banks, credit institutions, insurance companies, investment firms, and fund managers. The training course is also relevant for ICT service providers considered critical, and called upon to guarantee high security standards to respond to the new responsibilities of supervised entities.

Strategic training for aware Leadership

In the financial sector, digital transformation has revolutionized processes, services, and customer relationships. However, technological acceleration has not always been accompanied by a proportional strengthening of operational resilience. Today, the high level of interconnection in financial systems exposes banks, insurance companies, and institutions to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, with potential systemic impacts. To respond to this challenge, it is essential to invest in training and developing the strategic skills necessary to consolidate the digital foundations of the entire financial ecosystem, ensuring its security, operational continuity, and market trust.

In this sense, the DORA Regulation imposes precise requirements to ensure operational continuity and digital resilience in the face of cyber threats, useful for:

  • reducing operational and cyber risks, strengthening the ability to prevent, resist, and respond to digital attacks;
  • ensuring the stability of the financial system, preventing an incident from having systemic impacts;
  • being compliant with a European regulatory obligation, with sanctions in case of non-compliance;
  • increasing the trust of customers, partners, and authorities, demonstrating a concrete commitment to digital security;
  • better managing the ICT supplier chain, which is also obliged to comply with high standards.
