With many financial institutions still not fully Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) compliant, the sector must act swiftly to overcome regulatory hurdles. This FStech roundtable, sponsored by BMC Software and Amdocs, comes at a critical moment where key decision makers must ensure the long-term success and sustainability of their Operational Resilience strategies.

Senior leaders will examine how to interpret ambiguous regulations, set impact tolerances, and address third-party risks while leveraging emerging technologies like AI and machine learning to strengthen resilience. The discussion will also analyse the challenges of balancing immediate compliance needs with long-term sustainability, including considerations around documentation, system upgrades, cybersecurity, and vendor selection.

Tailored for Chief Risk Officers, Heads of Operational Resilience, Technology Leaders, and Compliance Officers, this exclusive dinner offers a platform to exchange insights, challenge assumptions, and refine strategies. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on best practices, technology investments, and regulatory compliance planning.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of Operational Resilience in financial services and ensure readiness for the challenges ahead.
