The financial industry has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the accelerated shift to digitized services having a profound impact on the banking landscape. Not only has it changed the way financial institutions operate, but it has also affected anti-money laundering risks and financial crime prevention measures across the enterprise.

As a result, there has been a marked shift in focus from traditional risk management practices to enhanced business resilience. This new approach emphasizes the importance of preparing for and quickly adapting to potential disruptions to critical financial infrastructure and services. Early adopters of this approach are expected to gain a competitive advantage as they streamline critical services and help to strengthen the wider financial market infrastructure.

Regulators in the European Union have expanded the scope of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to include obligations designed to ensure that financial institutions' business lines remain operationally resilient against various categories of risk. Similarly, in Canada, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has issued updated Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) guidance and plans to hold a public information session on operational risk and resilience in the first quarter of 2023, with a view to publishing draft revised guidance for consultation in Spring 2023.

In this episode Charlene Sebastian, Head of Client Success at MinervaAI talks with Denis Nwanshi, Founder of NetraScale, and the future of secure digital banking research initiative, NetraBank, to explore the intersection between operational resilience and financial crime prevention, with a particular emphasis on the role of next-generation technologies. These technologies can help protect critical financial infrastructure and services while enhancing capabilities for financial crime detection. The use of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain can aid in detecting fraudulent activities and mitigating risks. Additionally, the integration of these technologies can help to enhance financial institutions' compliance with regulatory requirements and safeguard against potential threats to their reputation.

Denis is an accomplished executive specializing in delivering mission-critical digital platforms, data-driven products and automated infrastructure for highly regulated institutions. He founded NetraScale in 2014, providing high-impact cloud-native architectures and enterprise integration services to clients in the banking, insurance,  retail/commerce and public sectors. With practical knowledge of fintech, regtech, payments modernization, cyber security, operational resilience, and a wide range of next-generation technologies and data management strategies, he has expanded his business to build AI-enabled niche platforms centered on innovation, security and sustainable business value. Denis is a strong advocate for mentoring, design thinking, and agile-lean principles. In his spare time, he enjoys organizing interactive tech talks, panel discussions and hackathons.
