October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity and the risk to critical infrastructure. The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) mandates stronger security practices and cyber resilience. DORA has five key pillars, affects financial institutions, and failure to comply results in fines. It promotes cross-functional cybersecurity efforts and requires organizations to have risk management frameworks, monitor vendors, and have incident response plans. Compliance with existing regulations, like GDPR, is still important. DORA will take effect in January 2025.
