Operational Resilience vs Innovation: The Role of Cloud in Financial Services

The pandemic and recent tightening of regulations has thrown ‘Operational Resilience’ into the limelight. In the financial services industry, banks are no stranger to the importance of resilience in maintaining financial stability. Yet in an increasingly digitised environment, they are facing substantial pressure to keep up with rapid innovation cycles and deliver differentiated customer experiences. And while cloud has been a key enabler for modernisation, this world of open and embedded finance has introduced the potential for new operational risks. But does resilience naturally stifle innovation? Or can organisations stay resilient and continue to innovate? Join Contino and Google Cloud for a panel discussion on Operational Resilience vs Innovation: The Role of Cloud in Financial Services. The session will cover: - Key trends and industry regulations impacting banks and building societies - How organisations can move to a cloud-first model without compromising their risk posture - Review of the FCA’s recent guidelines on Operational Resilience, and the impact of the public cloud on enhanced resilience expectations - Patterns and practices that can help organisations be successful without compromising resilience - How organisations can leverage Google’s multi and hybrid-cloud services to increase their operational resilience on premise and across other CSPs - How can organisations build upon their operational data and observability to move towards near real-time Compliance and Resilience reporting
