Starting January 2025, all financial entities must comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). At Cybergen, we help ensure you're fully aligned with its requirements.


DORA is a significant EU regulation aimed at strengthening the ability of financial institutions to defend against cyber threats and recover from any kind of IT disruption. It’s not just about financial stability anymore, it’s about maintaining resilient and secure operations in the face of digital risk.
