Richard Cassidy, EMEA Field CISO at Rubrik, talks about how third-party risk management has led to significant breaches in organizations, highlighting the importance of DORA's focus on managing and holding third-party providers accountable.

In this episode of CISO Conversations: EU Data Regulations, Richard Cassidy, EMEA Field CISO at Rubrik, is joined by Anna Delaney, Director of Productions at Information Security Media Group (ISMG), to explore why the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) makes operational resilience a priority for financial services organizations. They discuss how DORA will impact your financial institution, how to best prepare for DORA and improve operational resilience, and how to increase oversight and accountability of third parties in the supply chain.

Do you have to follow DORA? Yes. Why? Richard Cassidy of Rubrik has the answer.

The healthcare industry, traditionally slow in digital transformation due to stringent regulations, is now experiencing rapid change. As digitization accelerates, vast amounts of personal and professional data are being stored across healthcare systems—making them prime targets for cybercriminals. This sector’s rich data environment, coupled with evolving cybersecurity practices, creates a unique challenge. Unlike the well-established security measures in banking and financial services, healthcare's cyber defenses are still maturing.

Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast, brought to you by Rubrik Zero Labs. In each installment, we discuss cybersecurity with thought leaders and industry experts, and get their take on trends, themes, and where they see the sector going next. This is a must-listen for security and IT leaders looking to better understand trends shaping data security and how they can achieve cyber resilience.

In cybersecurity, the real challenge isn’t just preventing attacks; it's about how you rebound and continue delivering your digital products and services when an attack hits. The crucial focus must be on preparedness and resilience, not just avoidance. It's natural to want to ignore the possibility of a breach—our minds prefer to focus on positive scenarios. But effective planning requires embracing the pessimistic side of our intellect.
