Designing a Model for Testing the Effectiveness of a Regulation: The Case of DORA for Insurance Undertakings

Technology is sometimes seen as a disruption that although provides opportunities for growth and development, also provides opportunities for deception, theft, and fraud. On the other hand, automation can make it easier to identify and protect from threats. Hence, a proposal was made by the European...
