The financial services and insurance industries have always been in the center of targeted waves of cyberattacks. The escalating sophistication of cyberattacks has necessitated a shift towards continuous, automated security testing. Regulators and security experts alike advocate for a proactive approach that aligns with evolving threat landscapes. By understanding and testing adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), organizations can effectively identify vulnerabilities, measure security performance, and optimize defenses. This data-driven approach is essential for navigating the complex regulatory environment and building resilience against cyber threats.

The EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has introduced stringent regulations to ensure the sector’s resilience against cyberattacks and operational disruptions. A key component of DORA compliance is rigorous and frequent testing of ICT systems.

A Significant Step Forward

AttackIQ’s DORA Automated Assessments offer a streamlined solution for financial institutions. By leveraging advanced breach and attack simulation (BAS) technology, these assessments provide comprehensive visibility into an organization’s security posture against real-world threats. By replicating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by financial sector adversaries, these assessments provide actionable insights aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This enables organizations to identify vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation efforts, and demonstrate compliance with industry standards.

By conducting continuous security testing and validation, financial institutions can proactively identify vulnerabilities, measure the effectiveness of their security controls, demonstrate compliance with DORA regulations, and enhance their ability to respond to and recover from cyber incidents.

AttackIQ’s DORA assessments empower financial and insurance organizations regulated by DORA to build a robust defense against cyber threats while streamlining the compliance process. By investing in this solution, financial institutions can gain the visibility they need to protect their reputation, customer trust, and bottom line.
