The rapid pace of AI innovation is driving new possibilities for every organization. Yet, for many, the journey from inception to reliable, production-ready AI applications is riddled with hidden challenges: proliferation of models, security blind spots, and a desperate need for consistent governance. You want to harness the power of AI, but not at the expense of control, security, or compliance.

By James Rees, MD, Razorthorn Security The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) isn’t just another regulatory hurdle to clear. It’s fundamentally changing how financial institutions think about operational risk, particularly when it comes to the third party providers that now handle much of their critical technology infrastructure. DORA third party compliance has become a critical priority for EU financial institutions since the regulation came into force in January 2025.

The pressure to deliver applications quickly has created a complex software supply chain that is vulnerable to more threats than ever before. New regulations are shifting the liability to software developers, demanding auditable proof of security across the entire product lifecycle. Caught between velocity and complexity, the critical question is this: Can you truly vouch for the integrity, security, and compliance of every application that leaves your pipeline? What about after it’s deployed?

Security teams are drowning in findings, but only a fraction of exposures actually put the business at risk. Treating every issue as equal spreads resources thin, slows down remediation, and leaves critical systems exposed. Threat Exposure Management (TEM) changes the equation by forcing teams to focus on the exposures most likely to cause real damage – and to build the operating model that ensures they get fixed.

Cybersecurity isn’t a one-off battle. It’s a daily war fought on multiple fronts. Despite this, many security teams have been defending their organizations without cohesive visibility. Isolated security tools present a disjointed defense, one that is still fighting yesterday’s battles, but not today’s cyber threats.

Recent cyberattacks on retailers in the UK and the U.S. are now shifting to target the financial sector, with news on breaches reaching headlines almost daily. These stories track how today’s threat actors operate: they are strategic, pivot quickly, exploit weak links and are highly opportunistic. This opportunism means that if threat actors discover an unlocked door in one business within an industry, they will try every door within that industry to find a common weakness.
