Digital transformation is triggering a new wave of competition among traditional service providers, due to which many banks are turning to technology companies offering digital solutions by leveraging their broad customer base and distribution channels. This encourages banks to innovate more quickly, where operational reliability must also be maintained in the face of a surge in users, without sacrificing the user experience when enjoying banking services.

At the end of 2022, the Infobank Institute together with Multipolar Technology and IBM held a seminar with the theme “Digital Banking Outlook 2023: Automation and The Future of Banking Operations” at the Fairmont Hotel Jakarta on December 15 with the IBM Turbonomic solution.

The IBM Turbonomic solution providers Application Resource Management (ARM) which can be an ideal “first step”, to ensure full-stack app-oriented performance, and at the same time still continuously optimize resources and AI-powered ITOps (AIOps) to ensure that applications can continue to be available and will continue to be developed by the industry, to operate on a large scale. This makes it easier for the IT team to monitor and manage configuration compliance and adjust resource requirements safely without sacrificing application performance.

The utilization of solutions from IBM Turbonomic can support the digital banking transformation process to become easier and more convenient, thus helping banks provide better banking services to customers.

Seminar Google Cloud Platform: Infrastructure Modernization, Backup & Disaster Recovery

There are still companies that implement on-prem, but cannot provide real benefits to the business. This means that the legacy system used is no longer flexible and cannot provide added value to the business. Because, legacy systems have several limitations in terms of efficiency, agility, productivity, and customer satisfaction that are difficult to measure. Then, how can companies adapt to such rapid changes?

Multipolar Technology collaborated with Google Indonesia to organize a seminar this time for SOEs. Located at the Google Indonesia office, there was high attention from participants when discussing several alternative journeys that can be used when migrating from on-prem to the cloud. For information, one method that can be used is Lift and Shift, where this method is suitable for moving existing applications as they are from on-prem to the cloud, without much change.

Seminar IBM Security – How to Prepare for Data Privacy Changes

The emergence of various increasingly sophisticated technologies encourages increased activity and access to data services via mobile devices. Therefore, companies must be more vigilant and proactive in monitoring and preventing security threats.

Corporate IT security is also a top priority to protect important data and applications from cyber-attacks, Multipolar Technology together with IBM held a seminar with the theme “How to Prepare for Data Privacy Data Changes” on November 24, 2022, discussing how proactive steps can be taken with using IBM QRadar SIEM and IBM Guardium.

With the IBM Guardium solution, it can be easier to find out whether the IT environment and database used has security holes, bugs, or leaks. IBM Guardium is also equipped with UBA (User Behavior Analytics) capabilities from IBM QRadar SIEM which can help analyze potential cyber-attacks in real-time.

Seminar ‘Big Data Use Cases & Fraud Detection System’

Just like oil, which needs to be processed first so that it can be consumed, data must also be processed so that it can become useful information and insight. Currently, there are still organizations that take a long time to provide digital-based services. Not to mention if the application used does not support collaboration with the existing digital ecosystem, thus hindering the launch of new products or services.

Along with the development of the digital era, of course, it must be followed by digital-based services that are in line with market trends and needs. The increasing number and variety of data that is developing in the banking sector encourage the need for banks to store and process data so that it can support business decision-making. For this reason,  Multipolar Technology presents the VisionAnalytics – Big Data solution to answer all these needs. With this solution, banks do not only have one platform for storing data from various sources but also complete with data engineering, machine learning, and AI features, so they can predict data for the future.

This is the main topic discussed in the seminar on the topic of Big Data and Fraud Detection Systems this time, which was attended by several selected banks.

Data leakage is now increasing and has become a serious concern for many companies to be more vigilant in monitoring the movement of company data. The number of gaps that can be infiltrated by hackers means that there is also a lot of access that needs to be guarded so that critical data is not misused. Security solutions must be strengthened with the best detection, investigation, automation, and response capabilities.

Collaborate with Palo Alto in the seminar “Security Automation for Everyone” at Ayana Midplaza Hotel. This seminar explained how Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR is the right solution to strengthen data security, by combining security orchestration, incident management, and interactive investment.

Cortex XSOAR greatly assists IT Security teams in building the security system of the future reducing MTTR, creating consistent and audited incident management processes, and increasing analyst productivity.
