Despite 94% of executives ranking resilience as crucial, 60% of businesses have still faced downtime in the last two years. Whether it’s ensuring 24/7 availability of critical services, compliance with APRAs operational resilience requirements, or protection of sensitive financial data and customer information; resiliency cannot be overlooked.
Join this invitation-only luncheon hosted by Frost & Sullivan and AWS, where financial services leaders will explore:
Exclusive access to findings from Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 research on cloud resilience in ANZ
Why resilience should be at the heart of cloud strategy
