With the Shared Responsibility Model of cloud infrastructure, financial institutions can define platform-level controls for applications they plan to deploy in the cloud and tailor risk and control activities based on application functionality, having confidence in the inherited infrastructure and platform controls.
Further to this, embedding controls at different parts of the software development lifecycle aids the development process, allowing financial institutions to keep pace with the scope of sector-wide digital transformation. Although uncertainty around cloud persists and there is concern around emergence of new threat vectors, financial institutions must recognise and embrace the opportunity for increased automation and controls codification.
By shifting left in order to innovate and scale, banks must augment their processes to provide engineers with embedded controls to mitigate potential control issues during development, validate compliance before product launch, and overall increase their risk mitigation performance.
