Board Training DORA
Board Training DORA is the e-learning training program designed to equip administrators and business executives with fundamental cyber risk management skills. This need is explicitly indicated by the EU DORA Regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act), which underscores digital resilience as a strategic element for the financial system stability, in an increasingly interconnected and digitalised landscape.
The regulation assigns specific responsibilities to the financial entities’ management bodies. They are tasked with approving and supervising ICT risk management policies, remaining continuously informed about cyber threats, and ensuring the organisation implements 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. It is also highly relevant for critical ICT service providers, who must guarantee high security standards to meet the new responsibilities of supervised entities.
Strategic training for cyber aware Leadership
In the financial sector, digital transformation has revolutionised processes, services, and customer relationships. Yet, this technological acceleration hasn’t always been matched by a proportional strengthening of operational resilience. Today, the highly interconnected financial systems leave banks, insurance companies, and institutions vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, with potential systemic impacts.
Addressing this challenge demands investing in training and developing the strategic skills to consolidate the digital foundations of the entire financial ecosystem, ensuring its security, operational continuity, and market trust.
The DORA Regulation directly addresses this, imposing precise requirements for operational continuity and digital resilience against cyber threats. It helps financial organisations to:
- Reduce operational and cyber risks, strengthening the ability to prevent, resist, and respond to digital attacks.
- Ensure financial system stability, preventing incidents from having systemic impacts.
- Comply with a European regulatory obligation, avoiding sanctions for non-compliance.
- Increase trust among customers, partners, and authorities by demonstrating a concrete commitment to digital security.
- Better manage the ICT supplier chain, which is also required to comply with high security standards.
