DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR

How to benefit from the advantages of a modern cloud infrastructure – without compromising security.

WHAT WE DO

Drive digital transformation with cloud security

Realize the full potential of your cloud investments, modernize your infrastructure, and ensure an optimal user experience – securely.

The pressure to digitize in the banking and financial services sector is increasing. The “remote-first” environment has demonstrated the need for flexible, efficient ways of working, even in this complex, highly regulated sector. However, traditional network architectures have become the cause of global organizations’ inability to fully leverage the flexibility and speed enabled by the cloud. Banks and financial institutions have been forced to balance their reliance on business-critical legacy infrastructure with their increasingly critical need for cloud agility.

So, how can organizations accelerate digital transformation?

Simplify and secure digital transformation

Banks have always invested heavily in security, often on-premises. To drive digital transformation, they need to shift away from bringing users to the controls, and instead focus on a zero trust approach, bringing the controls to the users.

Another major hurdle is visibility into encrypted traffic, says Zscaler Field CTO Sudip Banerjee. "[Unless] you're looking at potentially every data packet, you wouldn't know what's flowing through the wire and whether it's good or bad."

In this session with ISMG, our experts—including Lee Dolsen, Chief Architect, APJ at Zscaler—discuss:
 

  • How enterprises must approach digitization
  • How a zero trust approach can simplify digitization
  • How best to solve the problem of visibility
