Issues
The digital revolution has shaken up all businesses, and the banking sector has been no exception! This new model has forced banks to transform their practices and habits by opening up to the outside world, de-siloing services and processing their data to gain a 360° view of their customers. Many companies that have not embraced digitalization have seen their businesses gradually collapse. Banks had no choice but to open up their architecture to become agile and offer an optimal customer experience. However, this digitalization has had other, more harmful consequences... The continued digitization of financial services has amplified banks' exposure to cybercrime and operational IT shortcomings. One of the major players in the banking sector therefore called on the Go Cloud & Security by Micropole offer to meet these cybersecurity challenges.
