Core Banking ASP Solution and Cybersecurity Compliance
Introduction
The Application Service Provider (ASP) model allows banks to manage core banking operations using cloud-based solutions. The ASP model in core banking allows banks to outsource their software and infrastructure to third-party service providers, offering cost savings, scalability, and access to advanced technology, but also introducing potential data security and privacy risks. However, this shift presents cybersecurity challenges to protect sensitive data and maintain regulatory compliance. This article focuses on cybersecurity compliance in core banking within the ASP model.
Cyber Security Compliance in ASP Model
