Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA)

What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), implemented by the European Union, establishes a new regulatory landscape for the financial sector. DORA emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure and ensure operational resilience.

What are the implications for financial organisations?

DORA mandates financial institutions to implement a comprehensive set of cybersecurity controls. These controls aim to safeguard critical operations, prevent disruptions, and ensure swift recovery from incidents. However, the widespread use of encryption, particularly Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), presents a challenge for regulators and institutions alike.

Limited Visibility:

Encrypted traffic masks the content being transmitted, hindering traditional methods of network monitoring and security analysis. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to detect potential threats hidden within encrypted communication channels.

Compliance Challenges:

DORA requires institutions to monitor for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and unauthorized certificates associated with TLS/SSL connections. Achieving this level of oversight becomes significantly more complex when dealing with encrypted traffic.

Venari Security:

Enabling DORA Compliance with Continuous TLS/SSL Monitoring

Venari Security offers a comprehensive solution that empowers organizations to navigate the challenges of encrypted traffic and achieve DORA compliance. Our platform provides continuous monitoring and management of TLS/SSL certificates and connections, ensuring robust security posture and regulatory adherence.

Key Features of Venari Security for DORA Compliance:

Deep Visibility into Encrypted Traffic:

Venari Security utilizes advanced techniques to gain insights into encrypted traffic without compromising data privacy. This allows for comprehensive threat detection and analysis, even within secured communication channels.

Continuous TLS/SSL Posture Assessment:

Our platform continuously monitors TLS/SSL certificates for vulnerabilities, expiration dates, and misconfigurations. This proactive approach ensures that certificates remain valid and secure, mitigating potential compliance risks.

Automated Compliance Reporting:

Venari Security automates the generation of detailed reports on TLS/SSL posture, providing valuable evidence for demonstrating compliance with DORA regulations. These reports simplify the auditing process and reduce administrative burdens.

Streamlined Certificate Detection:

Venari Security simplifies certificate lifecycle management, including detection ended, close to end or non-compliant certificates across all the network. This reduces the risk of expired or compromised certificates, a critical aspect of DORA compliance.
