Cloud-Powered, Next-Generation Banking

Traditional banks make extensive use of labor-intensive, human-centric control structures such as Production Support groups, Security Response teams, and Contingency Planning organizations. These control structures were deemed necessary in order to segment responsibilities and to maintain a security posture that is risk averse. Unfortunately, this traditional model tends to keep the subject matter experts in these organizations at a distance from the development teams, reducing efficiency and getting in the way of innovation.

Banks and other financial technology (fintech) companies have realized that they need to move faster in order to meet the needs of the newest generation of customers. These customers, some in markets that have not been well-served by the traditional banks, expect a rich, mobile-first experience, top-notch customer service, and access to a broad array of services and products. They prefer devices to retail outlets, and want to patronize a bank that is responsive to their needs.

This greatly improves your security and audit posture by centralizing access control and reducing inbound access.

Architecting for PCI DSS Segmentation and Scoping on AWS

AWS has published a whitepaper, Architecting for PCI DSS Scoping and Segmentation on AWS, to provide guidance on how to properly define the scope of your Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) workloads running on the AWS Cloud. The whitepaper looks at how to define segmentation boundaries between your in-scope and out-of-scope resources using cloud native AWS services. The whitepaper is intended for engineers and solution builders, but it also serves as a guide for Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) and internal security assessors (ISAs) to better understand the different segmentation controls available within AWS products and services, along with associated scoping considerations.
