Digital transformation in the banking and insurance sector
The banking and insurance sector continues to be immersed in a phase of technological transformation, with the aim of more effectively addressing the current and future challenges of both industries. The growing need to safeguard sensitive information, together with compliance with increasingly stringent regulations, is complemented by the demand to guarantee continuous availability in key operations.
Digital workplace: a solution for security and operational continuity
The entry into force of regulations such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), impose strict requirements in cybersecurity and operational resilience. Its scope is broad, requiring organizations to strengthen their technological infrastructure to protect data and minimize the impact of possible incidents. Consolidating operational continuity and information security has become a priority.
In this context, the digital workplace emerges as an efficient solution to adapt to these new regulatory requirements. More and more organizations are including it in their strategy as a key pillar to offer the security and flexibility that banks and insurers demand, with workspaces accessible 24×7 with high availability and centralized management.
According to the report Digital workplace solutions for the banking sector: a view from experience (1), “when selecting the appropriate technological tools for a financial institution, it is essential to take into account aspects such as long-term sustainability, scalability and the ability to integrate with existing infrastructures. An effective digital workplace solution must be able to respect previous investments, comply with cybersecurity regulations, offer simplified administration and be economically viable.”
