“In their deepening embrace of cloud solutions, financial services companies have to work carefully, consistently, and continuously, to balance the enterprise’s need for cloud’s agility and scale with its need to limit risk,” notes John Burke, CTO of Nemertes. “The power cloud brings along with it a hefty dose of complexity, always a cybersecurity challenge and an amplifier of risk. Join our event, as we discuss how financial services firms can meet the challenge of harnessing cloud without heedless, needless risk.”
