📆 SIBOS Frankfurt - Microsoft Booth

September 30 | Frankfurt

FINOS is delighted to join Microsoft at SIBOS 2025 – the world’s premier financial services event – hosting a panel on our Common Controls for AI Services (CC4AI) - an open collaboration among leading financial institutions and technology providers, including BOFA, BMO, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, RBC, Microsoft, Red Hat, and key ecosystem leaders.
 
Together, we are addressing one of the most pressing challenges in financial services: how to adopt AI confidently while ensuring consistent, secure, and compliant controls that meet evolving global regulations.  
 
Join Luca Borella (FINOS), Allison Gorman Nachtigal (Microsoft), and Aric Rosenbaum (Red Hat) for "Redefining Tech Risk: How Open-Source Powers Industry-Wide Solutions".  
 
In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, risk isn’t just a challenge; it’s a shared opportunity. Discover how FINOS is driving a new era of technology risk management by bringing banks and cloud providers together early, using open collaboration to create resilient, compliant, and interoperable solutions. Join us to explore how this unified vision is driving the industry forward, paving the way for stronger risk governance, and replacing fragmented vendor controls with a unified responsibility model.
