5 June 2019, London

The discussion kicks off with the state of the Cloud migration and the technological, regulatory, security and Quality Assurance issues surrounding the process. It goes on to highlight the benefits that virtualization brings in the form of improved agility, transparency, resiliency and auditability, as well as debate how far along post trade is and should be in the cloud journey. The panelists also brainstorm on the future of DLT and emphasise the importance of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning for market surveillance and trade security in the context of Big Data. When talking about the current industry challenges, experts pinpoint shortage of talent, lack of standardization in the cleared derivatives space, and low levels of acceptance of new technologies among some regulators.
