Montreal: In these uncertain times it is critical for companies to maintain robust, resilient operations in order to not just survive but thrive. Regulators and supervisors have taken note: frameworks such as the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and supervisory guidance from national authorities—such as Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI)—are raising expectations around operational resilience, cyber, governance, contingency planning, and third‑party/vendor oversight.
Join the GARP Montreal Chapter as we convene subject matter experts to address these evolving requirements and practical challenges, and provide insights how best practices in risk management is helping organizations to strengthen their institutional resilience.
In this session, you will learn:
- What operational resilience is and why it is important;
 - What are some notable regulatory expectations;
 - Best practices in areas such as:
 - Business continuity;
 - Cybersecurity;
 - Third-Party vendor management;
 
Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your knowledge and expand your network!
Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
