Infostealers and DORA Compliance
Updated
What DORA requires
DORA mandates that financial entities implement ICT risk management frameworks, conduct threat-led penetration testing, report significant incidents, and manage third-party ICT risks. The regulation emphasises continuous monitoring and the ability to detect threats before they escalate.
The infostealer threat to financial services
Financial institutions are high-value targets for infostealer operators. Stolen session tokens for banking platforms, payment systems, or trading applications can be exploited for direct financial gain. Additionally, financial services employees often access systems from multiple devices, including personal ones, increasing exposure to infostealers on unmanaged devices.
How infostealer monitoring supports DORA compliance
Monitoring criminal marketplaces for stolen sessions linked to your organisation supports DORA's detection and risk management requirements. It provides the early warning needed to revoke compromised sessions before they are exploited. As a European platform, Passguard operates entirely within the EU regulatory framework, making it a natural fit for financial institutions with strict data residency requirements.
