Key Steps to Securely Scale and Optimize Production-Ready AI for Banking and Financial Services
This article outlines three key actions banks and financial firms can take to better securely scale, connect, and optimize their AI workflows, which will be demonstrated through a scenario of a bank taking a new AI application to production.
Building digital resilience to enable digital sovereignty
In 2025, cloud service outages significantly impacted enterprises worldwide, prompting urgent calls for improved digital resilience and sovereignty strategies. Organizations face regulatory pressures and costly disruptions, necessitating robust approaches to maintain continuity and trust in critical infrastructure sectors. Digital resilience defined: Digital resilience is the capability of an organization to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from infrastructure failures or cyberattacks, including those originating externally, making it essential for modern business continuity. Frameworks guiding resilience: Key regulatory and industry frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001, COBIT, ITIL, BCM, DORA, and APRA CPS 230 provide structured guidance on managing cybersecurity, operational resilience, and third-party risk, forming the governance foundation for resilience strategies. Strategies for resilience: Effective digital resilience involves mapping applications to appropriate deployment models like distributed and redundant deployments, implementing intelligent traffic management, adaptive security, network segmentation, automation with failover testing, and continuous monitoring through visibility and analytics. Resilience and digital sovereignty: Digital resilience intersects with emerging digital sovereignty requirements that emphasize data location and governance. Achieving combined goals involves antifragile architectures that limit disruption impact, adapt to threats, and improve through learning, supported by F5 ADSP.DevCentral Connects Recap: Open Finance, APIs, AI & Security
In this DevCentral Connects recap we chat about the Global State of Open Finance report and the industry’s shift from open banking to broader open finance. We cover the security implications as APIs proliferate (including shadow APIs), how AI is reshaping risk and opportunity, and practical steps for teams—API discovery, centralized enforcement, least‑privilege, and model governance.
