In this enlightening discussion with expert Paul Dwyer, we explore the changing landscape of penetration testing within the context of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).

Paul addresses the concern of traditional, snapshot-in-time penetration testing being costly and asks whether this will drive organizations towards more regular and ongoing testing to enhance security. The answer is a resounding "yes." DORA includes a dedicated section that mandates various types of tests, ranging from standard assessments to highly specific threat lab penetration testing.

For larger organizations, these tests may include assessments like the October U test, which focuses on comprehensive security evaluations. Additionally, Paul highlights the importance of specific threat lab penetration testing, particularly when organizations share services with providers such as cloud service providers.

Importantly, these tests must be conducted on live systems to ensure their effectiveness and relevance.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of how DORA is reshaping the landscape of penetration testing and what it means for organizations striving to bolster their cybersecurity measures. Watch now to stay ahead in the realm of digital operational resilience.
