Achieve DORA Compliance with the YubiKey

The EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) enforces comprehensive cybersecurity and operational resilience mandates across approximately 22,000 financial entities and 15,000 ICT third-party service providers, with non-compliance triggering daily penalty payments of up to 1% of global turnover and personal liability for management bodies. Under DORA’s Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), covered organisations must implement robust DORA authentication policies and strong authentication mechanisms commensurate with risk: specifically for privileged access, remote connections, and critical functions. However, legacy authentication (including SMS, OTPs, and mobile push notifications) suffers 10–24% attack penetration rates, leaving financial networks vulnerable to credential harvesting and systemic disruption. Satisfying DORA MFA requirements and aligning with the broader NIS2 and PSD2 regulatory triad requires moving beyond phishable credentials to hardware-backed, phishing-resistant MFA (NIST AAL3 financial services standard / LoA High).

In our ebook, “Achieve DORA Compliance with the YubiKey“, cybersecurity, risk, and compliance leaders across the financial sector will discover how to translate DORA ICT risk management authentication mandates into resilient identity defence. Learn how to eliminate identity blind spots, establish strict DORA third-party ICT provider authentication across your digital supply chain, and protect critical operations across shared workstations and mobile-restricted data centres.

Download the ebook to learn how to:

• Meet DORA Strong Authentication & RTS Mandates: Replace vulnerable SMS and mobile push notifications with high-assurance, phishing-resistant MFA to protect critical or important financial functions.
• Manage DORA Third-Party ICT Provider Authentication: Enforce strict phishing-resistant MFA across external ICT vendors, cloud providers, and critical third parties (CTPPs) to satisfy third-party risk rules.
• Secure Privileged Access and Restricted Environments: Implement DORA privileged access authentication using FIDO2 security keys across trader desks, shared workstations, and mobile-restricted financial environments without cellular or battery dependencies.
• Harmonise NIS2 and DORA Authentication Requirements: Navigate the regulatory triad of DORA, NIS2, and PSD2 to align your enterprise authentication with overarching Zero Trust cyber hygiene standards.
• Ensure DORA Cryptographic Key Protection: Safeguard cryptographic keys, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and digital assets using dedicated hardware security modules like the YubiHSM 2.
