MAS hosts forum on cloud resilience

The 20 participants discussed how to raise the adoption of public cloud services.

The first Financial Sector Cloud Resilience Forum by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) was held last 4 April.

The forum gathered Asia Pacific financial regulators and Cloud Service Providers (CSP) to share their perspectives on the proper public cloud risk management practices for financial institutions (FI).

Three main points discussed include the increasing adoption of public cloud services by FIs, CSP-assisted FI clients to maintain best standards, and critical information sharing between CSPs and financial regulators.

Headed by Vincent Loy, MAS assistant managing director for technology, the forum received more than 20 participants from regional regulatory authorities, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

MAS said the forum will be held twice every year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
