Given the requirements of the DORA Act, which mandates strong operational resilience for financial institutions in the EU, leveraging a JVM like Azul Platform Prime can help ensure compliance and protect critical financial operations from ICT-related disruptions.

DORA is not just a regional EU regulation but one with far-reaching implications for the global financial services market.

Recently, I was in discussion with a Java user at a bank about the possibilities of using Azul Platform Core to run a range of applications. 

Security is a very serious concern when sensitive data is in use, and potentially huge sums of money could be stolen.

I was, therefore, somewhat taken aback when the user said, “We’re not worried about installing Java updates as our core banking services are behind a firewall.”

Azul ensures that financial institutions using Java remain compliant with DORA by providing a secure, supported, and stable Java platform, mitigating the risks associated with unsupported OpenJDK distributions.

DORA significantly impacts investments by the financial sector in Java, because of its emphasis on secure and resilient software.
