Operational resilience: CrowdStrike chaos and how to plan for disruption

The significant disruption caused by the recent CrowdStrike failings has brought operational resilience to the forefront of the payments industry’s attention. How can firms prepare for similarly destabilising events to avoid operational breakdown?

The next 6 months for payment firms will be crucial as they must meet the FCA’s March 2025 deadline for operational resilience and align to new regulations involving critical third parties. Across the channel, the DORA framework comes into play in January and will also ask impact on financial institutions operating in the EU.

Industry experts in this webinar explain the history of operational resilience regulations up until the present, using the FCA timeline from the 2022 – 2025 March deadline. They will be breaking down how operational resilience regulations apply to all firms that host critical third parties and discuss what it means to be compliant, delving into various scenarios to demonstrate how the regulations could apply.

Watch the webinar to:

  • Receive practical advice on how to tackle regulatory requirements and potential risks when relying on external service providers, including establishing a roadmap, ow to avoid misunderstandings of the current regulations and how that might affect operations, and how to use resources effectively to satisfy the FCA.
  • Note the challenges in effectively mapping out the processes, technology, people etc. of third parties.
  • Learn how regulators might approach enforcement
  • Discover how the UK approach compares to DORA. Is there more that needs to be done outside of DORA?

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
