Cloud Adoption & Third-Party Risk

​Global financial institutions are racing to the cloud to unlock AI capabilities and operational scale, but they are colliding with a fundamental regulatory reality: outsourcing your infrastructure to a hyperscaler does not outsource your risk. Central banks and supervisory authorities increasingly view cloud concentration and third-party vendor ecosystems as critical systemic vulnerabilities.

​Navigating this transition is no longer just a technical engineering challenge; it is a high-stakes compliance and regulatory negotiation. Financial firms must architect cloud adoption strategies that satisfy aggressive digital transformation mandates while withstanding brutal audits from regulators deeply concerned about data residency, vendor lock-in, and operational resilience.

​This session will tear down the exact frameworks regulators use to evaluate third-party risk and provide a definitive playbook for managing hyperscale infrastructure rollouts across complex international jurisdictions.
