CYBERSECURITY
11. 11
Scale, elasticity &
Real-time processing
Open Banking / Finance success is
linked with data and capacity to
process large volumes of data in
real-time. The number of
transactions and data sources will
significantly increase as Open
Banking develops. Cloud will
support banks to manage those
volumes of data and provide
real-time processing
Role of the cloud in Open Finance
Decrease Costs
It is difficult to predict what
would be the data volumes,
usage patterns and how
regulations will evolve during
the next several years.
Therefore, banks can avoid
upfront infrastructure costs by
using cloud technology
Secure environment
Security and Compliance are the
highest priorities
Microservices oriented
architecture
At a time when banks are
seeking to boost their agility
and shorten time-to-market
for new services, open banking
offers a unique opportunity to
do things in new, modern
ways. Banks can break away
from their monolithic
technology to microservices
oriented architectures
