In light of the recent CrowdStrike outage and several high-profile service disruptions at Malaysian banks over the past 12 months underscore the critical need for operational resilience and enhanced security to meet the Bank Negara Malaysia regulatory requirements.

At the same time, banks face constant pressure to modernise and digitise due to evolving customer expectations, investor demands, and competition. To thrive, Malaysian banks must build a foundation for resilience and innovation. This requires a flexible infrastructure that seamlessly adapts to changing demands, allowing them to manage risk effectively. Equally important is ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations, from Bank Negara Malaysia mandates to country-specific requirements.
