he clock is ticking. With the DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) enforcement date approaching, financial institutions across the EU are under intense pressure to fortify their cybersecurity posture. DORA's stringent requirements demand a robust and proactive approach to risk management, particularly when it comes to the often-overlooked vulnerability of web browsers.
Traditional security solutions may fall short in addressing DORA's comprehensive framework. That's where SURF Security's Zero-Trust Enterprise Browser emerges as a game-changer, providing a crucial layer of defence to navigate the complexities of DORA compliance.
Here's how SURF Security empowers financial institutions to meet and exceed DORA's expectations:
Neutralizing Cyber Threats:
- Mitigating Phishing Attacks: DORA mandates robust measures to counter phishing, a leading cause of data breaches. SURF Security excels in this domain by eliminating social engineering threats through multiple checks and whitelisting, including web reputation, SSL certificate, and trusted domain checks. This proactive approach thwarts phishing attempts before they can even reach the user.
- Blocking Malware at the Gateway: DORA emphasizes the need to prevent malware from infiltrating systems and disrupting operations. SURF Security tackles this head-on by scanning and blocking malicious downloads in real time. This crucial capability significantly reduces the risk of malware infections, ensuring operational continuity and data integrity.
Preventing Data Exfiltration:
- Enforcing Granular Data Loss Prevention: DORA compels financial institutions to implement stringent controls to prevent data leakage. SURF Security's robust DLP features shine here, enabling granular control over data movement. Organizations can restrict copy, paste, print, and screen-share privileges with just a few clicks. SURF Security goes further by masking sensitive information as it renders on the page, preventing accidental exposure or unauthorized access.
- Controlling Data Flow to GenAI Tools: The emergence of GenAI tools introduces a new data exfiltration risk. SURF Security proactively addresses this by restricting data uploads to platforms like ChatGPT, preventing sensitive information from being inadvertently shared. This capability is crucial for maintaining data confidentiality in the age of AI.
Strengthening Incident Response:
- Enhancing Visibility and Control: DORA stresses the importance of swift incident detection and response. SURF Security's centralized management platform provides comprehensive visibility into user activity, enabling security teams to quickly identify and contain security breaches. The platform offers detailed audit logs, session records, and robust reporting to facilitate rapid investigation and remediation. This level of insight is vital for meeting DORA's incident response requirements.
Why SURF Security is Essential for DORA Compliance:
- Zero Trust Architecture: SURF Security's zero trust approach aligns perfectly with DORA's security principles, ensuring continuous verification of identities and access privileges.
- Enhanced Security Posture: SURF Security bolsters the overall cybersecurity posture of financial institutions, fortifying their defences against a wide range of threats.
- Simplified Compliance: SURF Security's comprehensive capabilities and robust security controls simplify DORA compliance, reducing the burden on security and compliance teams.
