The Consolidated Audit Trail and the Cloud
The historical challenge of getting data securely from one point to another has become significantly simpler as the AWS Cloud has streamlined the ways Financial Services institutions can securely transfer data among themselves. One component of the equation, AWS PrivateLink, removes additional complexity by eliminating the need for data sharing to traverse the internet. Explore one particular data transfer challenge that AWS can help address: the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). Read this post discussing what testing for the CAT means for Capital Markets firms and how they are using the cloud to comply.

Q/Kdb+ on AWS Lambda: Serverless Time-Series Analytics at Scale
For many Financial Services institutions, high-performance computing grids are a key infrastructure component of their financial and risk modelling. As these model computations become more complex, a growing number of firms are leveraging serverless architectures. Kx, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, created a q/kdb+ runtime that optimizes applications for the serverless environment of AWS Lambda. Learn how to use the q/kdb+ runtime for a specific example: a typical financial services application that calculates the option price of a stock using the Black Scholes pricing model.

ONLINE TECH TALK: BUILDING A DATA LAKE ON AWS FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES INSTITUTIONS

When: July 31, 2020, 1:00 PM PST | 4:00 PM EST

Financial service institutions are collecting an unprecedented amount of data but for many, legacy infrastructure, silo'd data storage, and analytics tools don’t provide the agility and flexibility needed to use that data. By building a data lake on AWS, financial service institutions can integrate multiple data sources into a consistent data set that is readily available to be categorized and processed. Join this online Tech Talk to learn about key security considerations that financial service institutions must focus on as they build their data lakes on AWS, among other topics.

This free, on demand event is for aspiring machine learning developers, applications developers, and data scientists to dive deep into how the cloud can help you build artificial intelligence (AI) applications and machine learning (ML) models.

On Demand

This free, online event is for ML aspiring developers, applications developers, and data scientists that want to learn how to build artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) into new and existing applications. In this online event featuring instructor-led sessions, you will learn how to conceptualize the end-to-end process of building ML models.
