Frequent service disruptions, increased regulatory scrutiny, and growing privacy concerns have prompted banks to ramp up efforts drive operational resilience. With resilience gaps rooted in banks’ increasing reliance on third-party cloud services, banks face two seemingly contradictory options: Do they retreat from the cloud to improve their resilience, or forge ahead with increasing their cloud presence, possibly at the cost of eroding their resilience?

Hybrid cloud rises as a potential solution by deconstructing this false dilemma for banks.

By minimizing downtime, strengthening business continuity management, facilitating scalable operations, and embedding data security and compliance into cloud operations, hybrid cloud can enhance the operational resilience of banks in Asia Pacific (APAC) while powering their modernization goals through greater cloud adoption.

Read this study to further understand:

  • How operational resilience has become a top-of-mind concern for APAC banks.
  • How cloud migration has been perceived to impact operational resilience.
  • Recommendations on leveraging hybrid cloud to address challenges related to resilience that emerge from cloud-related risks.
