EB2 - Interconnection for Banking's Digital Revolution

Enhance Data Security and Compliance Through Secure Information Exchange Continued

Centralised IT architectures can’t provide the visibility or control that banks need.

Often operating across dispersed locations, retail banks need to be able to exchange data safely and securely across the organisation, as well as being able to easily locate and share data to comply with data sovereignty regulations across regions. However, traditional architectures can’t support the secure exchange and storage of customer data. This leads to data silos which makes the sharing of compliance information across dispersed locations unreliable and slow—putting banks at risk of reputational damage, excessive fines, and wider business disruption. As many as 42% of global banking executives have said that legacy banking systems have led to the risk of regulatory non-compliance. 15
