techUK's Cloud Computing Programme and Financial Services programme are delighted to host a webinar on operational resilience and cloud computing within financial services.
Join techUK and selected experts to explore what strategies financial institutions are implementing to meet upcoming new PRA requirements and navigate what this means for cloud adoption.
Cloud computing has emerged as a critical service to enable innovation, efficiency, and savings for fintechs and banks. Getting the right regulatory framework and approach will be decisive in ensuring resilience, innovation, and optimal customer experience.
The Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) is looking at access to data and systems used to assess financial services firms’ operational flexibility in response to outages and possible cyber-attacks. It published new rules in 2021 which are coming into force this year on outsourcing and third-party risk management.
This new regulatory landscape, which comes as an international move from regulators across the globe, poses questions for both technology and financial services providers.
At this techUK event, we will be joined by industry experts to understand how best the technology sector can help financial services providers meet the new requirements, and how to develop a world leading regulatory framework.
Speakers include:
- Orlando Fernández Ruiz, Senior Technical Specialist, Bank of England
- Dassana Wijesekara, Director - Solutions Architecture - BFSI Practice, WSO2
- Wayne Scott, Regulatory Compliance Solutions Lead, NCC Group
Agenda to be published shortly.
