DORA, FINMA  RS 2023/1,  and NIS-2 request relentless Mainframe Security and Compliance

„Whatever Happens“ Resilience Thanks Regular Penetration Testing

DORA and NIS-2 are regulations that enhance the operational resilience of information and communication technology (ICT) and third-party providers in the EU financial sector.  The FINMA Circular 2023/1 (“FINMA Rundschreiben 2023/1 – Banken”) requests a corresponding resilience level from banks in Switzerland. One way of proving this is to carry out regular penetration tests.

 

With SF-Sherlock and SF-SafeDump it has never been easier to implement your DORA, FINMA and NIS-2 readiness on the mainframe platform. SF-Sherlock’s detailed monitoring provides not only powerful intrusion detection, but also great support in deciding on the right recovery point, i.e. where to “go back” in the event of a destructive attack, such as ransomware. To learn more about this important topic, watch the video below.

The SF solution suite targets even the most challenging risks, such as real-time monitoring and vulnerability assessment, exploits and malicious code, as well as dump and log anonymization.

The following presentation explains the steps for achieving DORA and NIS-2 readiness for the mainframe platform and the technologies required for this.
