Recorded Webinar: Moving Regulatory Data to the Cloud: A Use Case Discussion

20 October 2020

Migrating risk and regulatory reporting data to the cloud is turning out to be one of the hottest trends for 2020 – but not everyone is getting it right, and there are pitfalls to be avoided as well positive outcomes to be achieved. Especially in today’s remote working world, financial firms are facing the challenge of meeting all their compliance requirements and regulatory deadlines without having the cohesive teamwork that comes from a central office location – and while that is driving a strong movement towards cloud-based operations, it also throws up some compelling questions around how to make this process as efficient, effective and secure as possible.

In this webinar, we look at why transitioning operating risk and regulatory reporting to on the cloud is the right move for financial institutions to future-proof their global regulatory programs – especially now, when regulators globally require ever more data with ever more frequency.

During a facilitated discussion, experts from AWS, AxiomSL, and leading financial institutions will discuss the benefits of transitioning to a vendor-provided cloud solution, and explore key use cases to provide insight into real-life experience.

Listen today to explore important concerns such as:

  • What are the top challenges you might face in moving regulatory data and calculations to the cloud, and how can these be addressed?
  • How can you implement sensitive non-public information to a cloud infrastructure and obtain regulatory approval to do so?
  • How does vendor-provided cloud solution capability compare to financial institutions’ own private clouds?
  • How can you ensure the ongoing security of highly sensitive risk and regulatory data in a world of ever-increasing integration?
  • How should you balance the need to embrace change as a differentiator with the inherent risks change inevitably brings?
  • How can you correctly manage data, change, and operations for a cloud implementation?
