The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is shaking up cybersecurity rules for financial firms, and its influence is stretching beyond Europe—including to the UK. It’s not just about compliance; DORA is pushing companies to toughen up their digital defenses, making the whole financial ecosystem harder to hack. Think of it as a cybersecurity upgrade with ripple effects.

Editor’s Note: Cyber threats are a constant headache for banks and financial institutions, and DORA is forcing them to take the problem seriously. Even though the UK isn’t in the EU anymore, global finance is so interconnected that these rules will likely shape practices worldwide. For everyday folks, it could mean fewer data breaches and more trust in digital banking—assuming companies actually step up their game.
