6 risks related to DORA agreements for financial institutions and how to deal with them

In 2024/7, due to regular software updates from a major cybersecurity vendor, IT failures occurred one after another, severely impacting financial institutions around the world. The transaction system went offline, the payment network went down, and the customer portal froze. It wasn't a cyber attack. It wasn't a data breach.

In particular, the keynote address by HubSpot CEO Yamini Langan was most impressive to me. As Langan pointed out, the past nine months alone have seen more technological innovation than some sectors have done in almost a decade!
