The drive for operational resilience in financial institutions is experiencing strong momentum. Institutions need to optimise costs and automate, while also ensuring operational integrity and avoiding any new risks that might arise from automation.

Adding to this burden, client and regulator tolerance for system downtime has dramatically declined in the past decade, and stakeholders are demanding greater transparency, provided in real-time. To navigate these challenges, firms must adopt a strategic and proactive approach to operational resilience.

Key Topics:

The role of emerging technologies: We explore how cutting-edge technologies like AI and Machine Learning can help predict and mitigate potential risks effectively.
Increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly with the impending implementation of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and similar regulations globally.
The rise of sophisticated cyber threats, demanding more robust cybersecurity measures.
Innovation in Post-Trade: We are dedicated to innovating and improving post-trade technology to address inefficiencies and reduce complexity.
Proactive solutions: We provide our clients with proactive solutions and visibility to address potential problems.

Doing more with less might sound efficient, but it can compromise operational resilience. It’s crucial to find a balance and make strategic investments that support long-term resilience. In terms of post-trade, this means more automation, more consolidated ways of monitoring processes throughout the trade lifecycle, and finding smarter and smarter ways of deploying technology.
