Managing 21st Century Business and Technology Innovation: Reduce Operational Risk, Enable Compliance, Protect Privacy With IBM System z

Tags:
mainframes

Overview Banking executives are faced with a growing set of risk management and compliance challenges. This paper explores these challenges and highlights how IBM and, more specifically, System z, improves the alignment of IT and the business, increases business resilience, and enhances security and privacy capabilities to mitigate operational risk, while improving compliance and efficiency. Banking executives are striving to avoid unwanted outcomes: system outages leading to revenue loss and customer dissatisfaction, and adverse regulatory findings and data breaches leading to negative front-page headlines. Executives know that customers - and shareholders, rating agencies, regulators and auditors - have little tolerance for these types of negative events. Banking executives value solutions aimed at providing exceptional security and privacy practices that run on a resilient, highly available and trusted infrastructure.
