Moreover, a recent IBM internal analysis suggests that cloud is expected to account for about 60% of that future market opportunity. Financial institutions are accelerating innovation to meet heightened customer expectations. At the same time, they must meet heightened customer expectations, deliver consistent services and overcome increased regulation.
IBM says that can only happen if security and compliance controls are fully integrated into the platform from the onset. Otherwise, the likelihood of a large-scale data breach may increase dramatically. In particular, if developers develop and run applications on a cloud platform — or multiple clouds — that haven’t been properly configured.
