Validato strengthens digital resilience in the financial sector with an integrated human risk approach

The European financial industry is facing a new level of regulatory requirements. With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), financial players must comprehensively safeguard their operational stability. Chapter II in particular shows that risks must be systematically identified, assessed, and managed--far beyond purely technical aspects. The growing complexity makes it clear that modern security strategies must take into account both technical and human factors.

This is precisely what Reto Marti, COO of Validato, points out: "Human factors play a significant role in over 70% of incidents. A purely technical approach is therefore insufficient." Validato therefore combines precise security checks with human risk management, creating an operational risk framework that meets the requirements of modern financial organizations.

The company provides standardized checks, scalable screening processes, and clearly structured reporting mechanisms. These can be flexibly integrated into existing governance structures--regardless of whether they are banks, insurance companies, or other financial service providers. The approach will be presented as part of a digital specialist format that offers experts a compact overview of operational controls, early risk detection, and holistic security architectures. The online format facilitates participation and strengthens the exchange between compliance, risk, and IT teams.

One focus is on the interplay between human behavior, organizational processes, and digital systems. The Validato framework supports financial institutions not only in retrospective risk assessment, but also in the early identification of potential vulnerabilities. This promotes a security culture that combines technical protection with human responsibility and dynamically adapts to new threats.

In addition, the audience will gain insights into current cybersecurity trends from CypSec, a company specializing in modern security solutions and cyber defense. CypSec will demonstrate how advanced mechanisms strengthen the protection of critical financial processes and meaningfully expand Validato's approach.

The combination of human risk expertise, technological controls, and regulatory compliance creates a foundation that goes far beyond mere compliance. Financial players are given a tool that meets legal requirements while promoting long-term digital resilience--crucial in an industry that is increasingly characterized by digital dependencies.
