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.
