Cloud Data 101 with AWS: Is Your Cloud Data Vulnerable or Secure?

Gartner predicts that 85% of businesses will embrace a cloud-first principle by 2025. 

Harnessing the power and potential of cloud data for innovation has amazing potential for increasing efficiency, agility, and reducing costs. However, the “innovation attack surface” created by an organization’s developers and data scientists using, moving, and sharing data can be a nightmare for data security teams to protect.

In this webinar, you’ll gain valuable insights into the latest trends and best practices for data security in the cloud. Done right, cloud data security helps prevent data breaches, protect sensitive information, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Fortunately, both the EDM Council’s CDMC (Cloud Data Management Capabilities) framework and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) technology have emerged to enable businesses to innovate with cloud data safely.

Tune in to hear from our panel of cloud data experts from AWS and Laminar to help you answer:

  • What is the new “Innovation Attack Surface” and how can I reduce its risk?
  • What is DSPM and why is it critical now for data in the cloud?
  • How can DSPM help me adhere to the CDMC capabilities and key controls to protect sensitive data in the cloud?
  • What should I consider when implementing a DSPM strategy?

How to deliver a credible ESG transition

As allegations of “greenwashing” increase, sustainability is quickly becoming a regulated space, especially in relation to non-financial reporting and net-zero commitments.

Standardized, Recognized, Utilized: Accelerating Trust globally with the LEI

Today’s world requires faster and more secure transactions, raising challenges around cost, speed, access, and transparency in identification of organizations and businesses. Response requires global coordination to maximize interoperability across different payment systems, achievable by adopting international data standards, protecting infrastructures against fraud and cybersecurity threats, and finding the right balance between an innovative and operationally resilient ecosystem.

For this level of transparency, it is crucial to set up a framework for secure and effective identification of legal entities based on open access, machine readability, global reach, and sound governance principles. Recent initiatives, at international and U.S. level, confirm the urgent need for transformation and address those challenges:

In December 2022, U.S. Congress passed the Financial Data Transparency Act as part of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. At the same time, U.S. Customs and Border Protection initiated an EPOC to form a Global Business Identifier, which identifies high-risk shipments and facilitate legitimate trade. The Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF) introduced 2020 the Validation Agent Framework to enable banks and regulated institutions to leverage their KYC and AML on-boarding procedures, creating opportunities such as supply chain relationships and simplified secure cross-border payments.

During this webinar we covered:

  • GLEIF and LEI today
  • Financial Data Transparency Act
  • Customs and Border Protection
  • LEI in KYC and client on-boarding

Established by the Financial Stability Board in 2014, GLEIF is tasked to support implementation and use of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). The foundation is backed and overseen by the Regulatory Oversight Committee, representing public authorities worldwide to drive forward transparency within global financial markets.

Keys to Managing Data Across Complex Enterprise Environments

Data is critical to organizations – that’s a fact. But maintaining the quality of data across siloed systems? That’s where it gets complicated.

That’s because as your business applications grow, so does the sheer volume of data. When that data is siloed, the manual processes you may have been using to keep data correct and consistent across all your organization’s assorted moving parts begin to break down.

So, let’s take a new approach – master data management (MDM): providing a powerful, single golden record of data that’s synchronized across systems to maintain data quality and fuel better, timely decision-making for your business.

Join this webinar to discover how multi-domain MDM helps you break down data silos to drive incremental revenue, reduce costs, and transform your digital initiatives into a competitive advantage – thanks to a clearer, more holistic view of enterprise-wide information.

During this webinar, we will cover how to:
• Eliminate the manual and inefficient processes that produce data gaps and inconsistencies
• Establish a record of consistent, valid, and accurate data across domains, applications, and services
• Improve initial data quality and ensure proper governance with process automation
• Increase data utilization and collaboration across various user personas, with a business-friendly user interface (UI)
• Manage all administrative, stewardship, and governance functions across domains from a single UI
• Create linked relationships between data domains and surface up analytics on different data types to provide context and enable more informed decision-making

Female talent at the forefront of data analytics in Academia and Business

Empowering women and reaching gender equality is a challenging undertaking. There are multiple issues to be addressed:

  • Education
  • Employment
  • Discrimination
  • Gender-based violence (GBV)

While people of all genders may experience GBV, it disproportionately impacts women. GBV is a public health crisis of pandemic proportions, affecting 1 in 3 women worldwide. Still, recent data and research show that very few GBV survivors seek the help they need.

In this webinar, Sigrún Stella Þorvaldsdóttir, a Data Acquisition Operations Specialist at SIX Financial Information, will interview her sister, Dr. Karen Birna Þorvaldsdóttir, who recently became the first person to earn a PhD from the University of Akureyri (UNAK) in Iceland.

During her doctoral studies, Karen and her colleagues in the MiStory (Multicultural Study of Trauma Recovery) research group developed the first trauma-specific and survivor-centered help-seeking barriers instrument. This work required gathering multiple sources of data by interviewing and surveying women GBV survivors. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods were used to analyze the data.
