Advantages of Cloud Computing In Banking Can’t Be Ignored – The Financial Brand

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

More than ever, financial institutions need to leverage modern technology to deliver improved customer experiences, at a lower cost, in real time. This requires the collection and processing of multiple data sources and the modernization of legacy systems and outdated operating models. Without an improved infrastructure, traditional financial institutions will be ill equipped to compete with more responsive and innovative competitors.

The majority of banking and financial services organizations have yet to deploy core systems to the cloud due to significant complexity and concerns over security, risk, governance and control. In fact, according to a2020 IBM banking on open hybrid multicloud survey, While 91% of financial institutions are actively using cloud services today (or plan to in the next nine months), only 9% of mission-critical regulated banking workloads have shifted to a public cloud environment.

To address the need for capacity and speed, banks and credit unions are increasingly looking to cloud computing solutions to store data and support applied analytics. The result can be increased customer insights, improved efficiency, enhanced innovation, greater agility, and a reduced risk of security or business continuity breaches. As an overarching organizational advantage, cloud solutions can augment human productivity, providing insights that can positively impact both front-office and back-office transformation.

It is imperative for financial institutions to replace outdated on-premise infrastructure that has become harder and harder to update and increasingly costly to maintain. More than ever, successful organizations must look for flexible, scalable solutions that are both responsive and efficient. The technology is now available to help smaller banks compete. Waiting to leverage these new solutions is not a winning strategy.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services including software applications, data storage, and processing power on demand, over the internet. As opposed to owning modern computing infrastructure, banks or credit unions can use cloud computing solutions to replace or augment anything a current data center provides. This helps organizations avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining increasingly complex IT infrastructures.

Because of the need for modernized back office technology, the spending on cloud computing solutions continues to increase while spending on traditional, in-house IT continues to slide. Options include public cloud services offered by vendors, private clouds built by a financial institution, and hybrid cloud solution that combines a private cloud with one or more public cloud services, leveraging proprietary software to facilitate communication between the two.

Cloud computing solutions have served as the catalyst for digital banking transformation, providing benefits that impact both front office and back office operational models. These benefits will make financial institutions more future-ready, while providing the springboard for improved customer value and revenues.

Increased Customer Insights. Customer data contains insights that can only be unlocked with advanced analytics. The results of real-time data analysis can provide the foundation for a level of personalization and proactive engagement across all channels not normally possible with legacy infrastructure. With analysis available instantly, a bank or credit union can understand individual customer behavior that can trigger ideal actions that drive conversion, increase engagement, and build loyalty.

Improved Efficiency. Many financial organizations struggle to streamline, automate and connect the back-office processes that impact customer experiences. Cloud technology can bring together multiple data and operational systems that reside in silos and impede efficiency. This can shift the time currently spent looking for insight to more productive and impactful analysis and decision making.

Enhanced Innovation. Cloud technology can shorten product deployment cycles and simplify product testing, allowing financial institutions to test new innovations in real-time and react to market acceptance (or rejection) quickly. Cloud solutions also facilitate open banking possibilities, expanding the solution set for consumers across traditional and non-traditional financial services.

Greater Agility. For banks and credit unions wanting to achieve greater business agility, cloud technology enables organizations to respond instantly to changing market conditions, leveraging data and applied analytics to achieve customer experience and operational productivity benefits. From responding to changing consumer or competitive dynamics, to allowing for the scalability of technology use, the opportunities are extensive.

Reduced Data and Continuity Risk. What used to be considered a weakness of cloud technology has become one of its greatest strengths. Cloud computing provides a viable alternative to outdated systems that are increasingly vulnerable to data tampering. With the potential for instant identification of potential breaches, to embedded security to safeguard banking data, cloud solutions can provide added comfort from cybersecurity risks. Cloud solutions can also provide a high level of redundancy and back-up to improve disaster recovery.

The key to successful digital banking transformation includes embracing the cloud. While there have been reservations in the past around cloud security and regulation, cloud computing solutions are becoming prevalent in the marketplace for both traditional and non-traditional financial institutions.

The use of data and deployment of advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence requires more processing power than all but the largest financial institutions posses. The good news is that there are several cloud-based solution providers, like IBM, that have created industry-specific solutions for the banking industry.

According to IBM, Organizations have an enormous opportunity to leverage cloud computing to drive innovation and improve their competitive position. Cloud computing whether private, hybrid or public enables organizations to be far more agile while reducing IT costs and operational expenses. In addition, cloud models enable organizations to embrace the digital transformation necessary to remain competitive in the future.

Security in the Cloud: Where Your Responsibility Begins and the Cloud Provider’s Ends – Infosecurity Magazine

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

Cloud computing has revolutionized the IT world, making it easier for companies to deploy infrastructure and applications and deliver their services. The idea of not having to spend millions of dollars on equipment and facilities to host an on-premises data center is a very attractive prospect.

Besides, resources in the cloud must be saferright?

Wrong.I often hear this myth from customers, but the truth of the matter is, without common sense security practices, proper configuration, and the right skillsets administering the cloud presence, cloud services are just as vulnerable, if not more so.

The Shared Responsibility Model

The reason for this is the shared responsibility model of cloud services, where the responsibility for security is divided between the customer and the provider. Customers often overlook this, and poor assumptions are made about the security of their cloud-based resources.

The cloud service provider is responsible for the virtual and physical security of the cloud infrastructure. The customer is responsible for their own data, the security of their workloads, and any internal networks within their virtual private cloud.

Another important aspect is access control. This is really no different than it has been in the past, except the physical security of the data center is handled by the provider. The customer is still responsible for locking down access to its own resources and data.

What does this mean for cloud customers in a practical sense? Lets take a look at some common security issues that can arise in the cloud.

Misconfigured Amazon S3 Buckets

Amazon S3 is a truly great service from Amazon Web Services. It allows customers to store data, host static sites and create storage for applications among other things.

At the same time, misconfigurations in S3 buckets can make them a prime target for malicious actors.

One such instance occurred in 2017 when Booz Allen Hamilton, a defense contractor for the United States, was pillaged of battlefield imagery as well as administrator credentials to sensitive systems. In another 2017 incident, the records of 198 million American voters were exposed. Chances are, yours were included.

Most incidents involving S3 are a result of poor configuration, not a hacker breaking in using sophisticated techniques. But with so many organizations using Amazon S3 to store uploaded data from customers for processing by other applications, there is a real possibility of more sophisticated attacks.

Loose API gateways

APIs are great. They allow you to interact with programs and services in a programmatic and automated way. They are a cornerstone of all cloud services, allowing the different services to communicate.

As with anything in this world, this also opens a world of danger.

API gateways were designed to be integrated into applications. They were not designed for security. Untrusted connections can enter the gateway and retrieve sensitive data. API requests to the gateway can come with malicious payloads. DDOS attacks are another common problem.

Using the right configuration is a key way to prevent API attacks. DDOS attacks at the API gateway can be throttled by limiting the number of requests for each method. Denying anonymous access is critical. Changing tokens, passwords and keys limits the chance that stolen credentials will be effective. Disabling any type of clear-text authentication, enforcing SSL/TLS encryption and implementing multi-factor authentication are also great deterrents.

Migrating Uncorrected Compute Resources

One common method of migrating from an on-premises datacenter to the cloud is the lift-and-shift approach. This means customers take the virtual machines running in their datacenter and simply migrate those to the cloud.

But what kind of security assessment was done on those virtual machines prior to migrating? Were the machines patched? Were security flaws fixed? The answer is often no which means the customer is simply moving problems from one location to the next.

A better way to migrate to the cloud is 'correct-and-lift-and-shift.'The most important thing to remember is that these are computers. They are still vulnerable to malware, so regardless of being in the cloud, the same security controls are required including things like anti-malware, host IPS, integrity monitoring and application control.

Free Range Virtual Networks

Cloud services make it incredibly easy to deploy networks and divide them into subnets and even allow cross network communication. They also provide the ability to lock down the types of traffic that are allowed to traverse those networks.

This is where security groups come in. Security groups are configured by people, so theres always that chance a port is open that shouldnt be, opening a potential vulnerability. Its incredibly important to really have a grasp on what a compute resource is talking to and why, so the proper security measures can be applied.

So is the cloud really safe from hackers? Its no safer than anything else, unless organizations make sure theyre taking security in their hands and understand where their responsibility begins and the cloud service providers ends.

The arms war between hackers and security professionals is still the same as it ever wasthe battleground just changed location.

Cloud becomes new front line between China and the west – Financial Times

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

In late 2020, Saudi Telecom, the Gulf states largest telecoms group, announced a partnership with Chinas Alibaba Cloud to help the kingdom build its cloud computing infrastructure.

It was the latest in a series of deals made by Chinese companies to expand their cloud reach abroad and part of Chinas broader national push to become a world leader in high tech.

This is something were going to see more in coming years, says Justin Sherman, a fellow at US think-tank the Atlantic Council and an international affairs expert. And, already, the level of investment made by China, at home and abroad, is turning the country into a major player in the race to cloud hegemony.

But fallout from recent trade tensions with the US, geopolitical tussles, and a relatively inexperienced domestic market could all hamper Beijings ambitions.

In recent years, Chinas cloud computing market has been growing fast and currently ranks as the second-biggest in the world after the US, according to research group Canalys. Cloud spending in the country hit $19bn in 2020, up from $11.5bn the previous year. China is a high-growth market and so is the cloud, says Blake Murray, an analyst at Canalys.

Although its $19bn spend represented only 13 per cent of total global cloud spend in 2020, that share was up three percentage points on 2019 levels. By contrast, the market share of the US the number one market was down two percentage points to 46 per cent, according to Canalys.

Chinese cloud service providers may not be as mature as, say, Amazon Web Services, but they are gaining speed rapidly, notes Kenneth G Hartman, an independent security consultant.

They have been helped by the Chinese government pushing the domestic development of cloud services as part of a wider digital transformation effort. Last May, Beijing said $1.4tn would be allocated to tech platforms, under a new infrastructure plan.

This new infrastructure concept is big, says Winston Ma, author of The Digital War How Chinas Tech Power Shapes the Future of AI, Blockchain and Cyberspace. Its the equivalent of Chinas 2007 investments into railroads and high-speed rail as a means of stimulating the economy in a crisis.

Companies that have already benefited from Chinas cloud ambitions include Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and Baidu Wangpan. Foreign companies have largely been kept at bay.

Laws that prioritise Chinese companies make it hard for competitors such as Amazon and Google to enter the market, despite their best efforts, explains Wenhong Chen, associate professor of media studies and sociology at the University of Texas.

Protectionist policies both in the US and China have only increased tension between the nations. Cloud policies and practices have become contentious issues in US-China bilateral relations, says Chen. Disputes are really about who is going to develop the next generation of cutting-edge technology.

Beijing now plans to expand its reach beyond Chinas national borders, by seeking cloud deals in south-east Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and the US.

Chinese cloud providers are able to do this by competing on price, which is a key factor in Europe and Australia, and trading on cultural similarities, which are important to customers in south-east Asia.

Ma says this expansion is an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative Chinas project aimed at developing infrastructure in 70 countries, and a centrepiece of President Xi Jinpings foreign policy. The cloud can digitalise the Belt and Road countries, creating strong trading relationships with China, he points out.

It also allows China to set cloud-related industry standards in multiple countries potentially influencing future international rules, if those come to be based on widely used global practices for cloud-sharing and data protection. The implications are huge, Ma believes.

But Chinas plans have met increasing resistance. Last August, Mike Pompeo, then US secretary of state, threatened a broad crackdown on Chinese tech companies with access to American data, including limits on the cloud computing groups that may operate on US soil. He also encouraged other nations to boycott Beijings tech companies.

The initiative was part of the Trump administrations strategy to bring European allies on board, [to get] Australia, Canada to ban Huawei 5G networks in their respective national markets, but it also targeted cloud providers, says Chen. Under the Biden administration, the rhetoric has been tuned down, but the policies are still in place.

In addition, strained relations between India and China most notably over their contested border has resulted in New Delhi blacklisting scores of Chinese apps and restrictions on cloud-related investment.

The Indian government wants to promote domestic companies and develop its own cloud technology. Indian and other subcontinental countries also see this Chinese expansion as digital colonialism, says Sherman.

Nevertheless, even with these obstacles, Chinas forays into Singapore, Latin America and the Gulf states are likely to continue. China has been very ambitious when it comes to the cloud, which it sees as the future, says Chen.

Amazon to create 10,000 new UK jobs in 2021 across online retail and cloud computing divisions – ComputerWeekly.com

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

Amazon is embarking on a UK-wide hiring spree across its online retail and cloud computing business divisions, having committed to creating 10,000 new permanent jobs this year.

If it hits its hiring target, the company will have more than 55,000 people working for it in the UK by the end of this year.

The companys job creation campaign will be geared towards increasing the number of permanent roles on offer within its corporate offices, its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing arm, and its parcel delivery and fulfilment centres.

Corporate roles will be available in offices in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cambridge across a wide range of fields, including fashion, digital marketing, engineering, video production, software development, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the company said in a statement.

In operations, Amazon will open a parcel receive centre and four new fulfilment centres, as well as continue to expand its delivery station network, creating thousands of new permanent roles on teams including engineering, HR and IT, health and safety, finance, and those that pick, pack and ship customer orders.

The company has also publicly committed to invest 10m over the next three years to cover course fees for up to 5,000 of its existing employees to retrain and pursue a career outside the company later down the line. This initiative is offered through the Amazon Career Choice programme.

The courses covered by the programme include software development training schemes, with Amazon offering to pre-pay 95% of the tuition and associated fees, worth up to 8,000 over four years.

Amazon has also pledged to work in collaboration with accredited chambers of commerce across the UK to identify localised skills shortages to ensure regional training needs are met through classroom-based learning and practical work experience placements, also as part of the Amazon Career Choice programme.

Kwasi Kwarteng, secretary of state for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), hailed the news as a huge vote of confidence in the British economy and described it as a prime investment in our retail sector.

He added: Over the past year, Amazons workforce have pulled out all the stops to ensure consumers have had safe access to goods during this challenging time. Their latest investment will open up a wide range of opportunities for even more workers, helping to develop the skills needed to power tomorrows economy.

On the skilling-up aspect of the news, Shevaun Haviland, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said Amazons work will have wide-ranging benefits for society at large.

Providing staff with training to plug the skills gaps that exist within the local business community is going to be a key driver to increasing productivity and boosting the economy as the UK recovers from the pandemic, said Haviland.

John Boumphrey, country manager for Amazon UK, added:We are proud of the front-line roles we offer across Amazon, and we also know that they will be a stepping stone for some in their career journey. For people whose ambitions fall outside of our company, we are pleased to support them by paying for training and academic courses that can get them to where they want to be.

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the worlds leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today announced the CSA CxO Trust, a first-of-a-kind initiative that will bring together a community of C-suite executives to evolve cloud and cybersecurity understanding, knowledge, and needed solutions in response to enterprise challenges.

Aimed at C-level leaders from various industry sectors with a vested interest in the successful evolution of cloud infrastructures and other related services, the CSA CxO Trust will spearhead, shape, and influence related security mappings and benchmarks. The leaders will also work together to develop practical privacy and governance models, training and certificate programs, mentorship and hiring best practices, wider regulatory/legislative programs, and product and services development. The program will have capabilities that are the hallmark of CSA: freely available community-driven research, timely education, and private collaboration among peers.

We seek to improve the quality of the dialogue between CISOs, IT executives, other members of the C-Suite, and their respective boards of directors around the fundamental topics of cloud and cybersecurity. Cloud is now the top and enduring information technology priority. Who better than CSA to bring a fresh approach to providing the right data in the right context regarding cloud and cybersecurity to the boardroom? said Jim Reavis, co-founder and CEO, Cloud Security Alliance. A recent CSA survey found that 47 percent of organizations in the cloud are concerned about their staffs lack of cloud expertise. Our belief is that a similar gap exists within leadership, and we intend to address it.

Eventually compartmentalized by vertical market and region, the CSA CxO Trust will guide research initiatives, use-cases, sector-specific service provider surveys/needs, templates, benchmarks, and more. Additionally, the group will also seek to influence and guide the codification of cloud expertise needed in organizations today.

We have interviewed a large number of CISOs and other C-level stakeholders about their pain points in preparation for this initiative and are identifying common themes, such as managing third-party risk, effective board presentations, cloud compliance, and quantifying the value of cybersecurity to the business. CSAs access to a strong, well-rooted community of C-level leaders from different sectors will help to drive solutions for these pain points, said CSA President Illena Armstrong.

A fundamental research whitepaper for this initiative will be our regularly updated Top Cloud Priorities for CxOs. A preliminary list of priorities has been developed and is available for download here. It will be used as a foundation for the CSA CxO Trust Working Group, which will commence in Q3 2021.

The first phase of the program will see the establishment of the CxO Trust Advisory Council. Composed of C-level executives from CSA corporate members, the group will be called upon to contribute to and advise on the overall strategy and roadmap of this broad-based programs offerings. In addition to guiding the CxO Trust and its related offerings, the Council also will be asked to help steer the aforementioned Working Group.

AWS sets out plans to expand re/Start cloud skills programme across more of the UK and Ireland – ComputerWeekly.com

May 18, 2021 | Author: admin

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has set its sights on increasing the number of people across the UK with the skills needed to take on entry-level roles in cloud computing through the geographical expansion of its long-running re/Start programme.

Originally launched in January 2017 with a focus specifically on equipping young people and ex-military personnel with cloud skills, re/Start has since expanded its focus to include people who have been made redundant from non-tech careers too.

At launch, the company said it hoped that up to 1,000 individuals would be given the opportunity to participate in work placements through the UK version of the scheme, and several years later AWS is now preparing to launch new cohorts for the programme in Belfast and Cardiff.

This expansion will mark the first time the AWS re/Start programme has been accessible to individuals within Northern Ireland and Wales, respectively, with the company also setting out plans to expand the programmes coverage to many more cities across the UK.

To this end, the company confirmed it will be launching further re/Start cohorts in Birmingham, Blackpool, Dublin, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle, meaning the programme will soon be available in 12 cities across the UK and Ireland.

At the end of 2020, AWS re/Start operated in 25 cities across 12 countries, and we expect to double the number of cities globally in 2021, said AWS in a statement.

The programme is geared towards giving participants the skills needed to secure entry-level roles in cloud operations, site reliability and infrastructure support, for example.

These skills are accrued over the course of a full-time, 12-week training programme, with those who complete the course connected with potential employers in the hope of finding work.

Tejas Vashi, global leader for AWS re/Start, said the programme has proven to be life-changing for many of the individuals who have participated in it to date.

AWS re/Start is more than a training programme its also a change your life programme, said Vashi. We work with populations who are unemployed, or underemployed, reskilling them and connecting them to real job opportunities. Our aim is to reach different groups who wouldnt otherwise have a pathway to technology careers.

Michael Fordham, UK platform capability lead at Manchester-based technology consultancy BJSS, said his firm had made use of the programme to fill the cloud skills gaps within its organisation with ex-military personnel.

The alumni we have recruited from the AWS re/Start programme are delivering solutions for our clients, and they contribute significantly to our organisation internally, said Fordham.Its a testament to these recruits that were expanding the idea and looking at other ways to attract more diverse candidates, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The programme is one of a number of skills initiatives AWS has embarked on in recent years, as part of its push to ensure the take-up of cloud technologies within the countries it operates is not hampered by skills shortages.

Cloud computing is one of the most significant technological advances of our time, and it has become vital for businesses in the UK and Ireland, the company said, in its statement.If the UK and Ireland are to realise the true potential of cloud computing, greater investment in people and skills is absolutely vital.

News of the expanded re/Start programmes comes hot on the heels of AWSs parent companys pledge to create 10,000 new jobs in the UK over the course of 2021in its online retail and cloud computing divisions.
