Cyberattacks are among the greatest risks facing financial institutions today; in response, the EU has created the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), a unified framework designed to strengthen digital resilience.
In this guest lecture, experts from PwC’s Financial Services Digital Assurance & Transparency practice will provide practical insights into IT auditing and IT compliance in the financial sector: from DORA requirements and the IT audit process to topics such as cybersecurity, vulnerability management, and the use of artificial intelligence. The presentation will be rounded out with insights into career and entry-level opportunities at PwC, as well as an open Q&A session.
The following agenda items are planned:
- Welcome & Introduction of the Speakers and the Financial Services Digital Assurance & Transparency Practice
