The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA - EU 2022/2554) represents a paradigm shift for the European financial sector. It forces banks, insurance companies, and investment firms to ensure they can withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions.
A core pillar of DORA is that resilience cannot be theoretical—it must be threat-led.
From ICT Risk Management to Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT), DORA demands deep integration of active threat intelligence. Here is how Threat Landscape helps financial entities secure their operations and simplify DORA compliance.
Article 6: The ICT Risk Management Framework
Under Article 6, financial entities must maintain a comprehensive ICT risk framework where risk identification reflects current threat intelligence. How we help: Threat Landscape provides continuously updated intelligence specific to the financial sector. Rather than relying on static, annual risk assessments, financial entities can reference live threat actor activity, campaign intelligence, and targeting patterns to build robust, empirical risk frameworks.
Article 13: Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)
Significant financial entities are now required to conduct advanced penetration testing based on the TIBER-EU framework. This requires a dedicated "threat intelligence phase" to scope the test using current adversary intelligence. How we help: Threat Landscape provides the exact inputs required for TLPT scoping: threat actor profiles, historical attack patterns, and TTPs specifically relevant to the financial sector's technology stack. This ensures your red-team exercises simulate the actual adversaries targeting your bank.
Article 28-30: ICT Third-Party Risk Management
Financial entities are heavily reliant on critical ICT third-party service providers. DORA requires continuous monitoring of these vendors for cybersecurity risks. How we help: Threat Landscape's darknet monitoring and ransomware victim intelligence enable rapid third-party compromise detection. Financial entities can monitor supply chain attack campaigns against specific vendor names or technology stacks, ensuring you know if a critical service provider is breached before it impacts your operations.
Article 9: Protection and Prevention
Prevention controls must be continuously calibrated to known adversary TTPs. How we help: Threat Landscape feeds Detection Engineering teams with behavioral indicators, ATT&CK-mapped TTPs, and IOC feeds. Through our API Enterprise tier, this structured intelligence can be fed directly into your SIEM or SOAR to proactively tune defenses against live adversary techniques.
Future-Proof Your Financial Infrastructure
DORA compliance is a heavy lift, but sourcing actionable threat intelligence doesn't have to be.
