The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that creates a binding, comprehensive Information and Communication Technology (ICT) risk management framework for the EU financial sector. DORA applies to all Financial Institutions and ICT service providers (collectively, FIs) in the EU. FIs have until January 17, 2025 to comply with DORA before enforcement starts.
F5’s Distributed Cloud (XC) Platform helps FIs comply with DORA. Services such as XC DDoS Mitigation, XC WAF, XC API Security, and XC Bot Defense help FIs detect, log, and mitigate cyber threats and anomalous activities on their web and mobile applications as well as their data and network infrastructure. The Distributed Cloud Platform also enables FIs to monitor, audit, and report on their ICT risk management activities and comply with DORA’s governance and oversight requirements. By leveraging F5 Distributed Cloud Platform, FIs can achieve operational resilience, protect their customers and reputation, and avoid regulatory sanctions in the face of increasing cyber threats and ICT disruptions.
