The Council of the European Union announced, on 11 May 2022, that it had reached a provisional agreement with the European Parliament on the Digital Operational Resilience Act ('DORA'). In particular, the Council highlighted that DORA aims to prevent and mitigate cyber threats and ensure resilient operations across EU financial entities such as banks, insurance companies, and investment firms. To achieve this, DORA establishes uniform requirements for the security of network and information systems of companies and organisations operating in the financial sector, as well as critical third parties which provide ICT-related services to them, such as cloud platforms or data analytics services.
