📰 FTF News: FINOS Takes Aim at AI Based Cyber Attacks
In a new interview with FTF News, Executive Director Gabriele Columbro discusses FINOS’ work to help financial institutions navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape. He shares the latest on OSERA, the FINOS AI Fund, and FINOS’ vision for governance-as-code, while exploring the critical role of open source in AI and financial services resilience.
🎧 Podcast: Oxymoron or Match Made in Heaven? Innovation Under Regulation
Is operating under strict financial regulation an innovation killer or its greatest catalyst? Host Peter Smulovics (Distinguished Engineer at Morgan Stanley and FINOS Zenith Lead) sits down with Dr. Aditya Vikram Kashyap (FINOS Ambassador, IEEE Senior Member, and Forbes Technology Council member) for an insightful episode of the Open Source in Finance Podcast from the FINOS Zenith Special Interest Group.
🗽 OSFF New York 2026 Schedule is Live (Featuring Fluxnova Con)
Day 1 (Nov 4): Fluxnova Con & Enterprise AI Governance
Day 1 delivers two powerful, parallel experiences. While three tracks explore financial orchestration and multi-agent systems via the debut of Fluxnova Con, we are simultaneously running two tracks entirely dedicated to Enterprise AI. These AI tracks focus strictly on SDLC controls, FINOS CALM architectural compliance, and the security frameworks required to deploy Agentic AI safely. Whether your team is implementing orchestration or navigating the risks of enterprise AI, Day 1 is built for you.
Day 2 (Nov 5): Core OSFF Programming
Day 2 expands into 5 fast-paced tracks tackling AI Implementation, Zero Trust AI & Security, Cultivating OSPO Culture, Platform Engineering (FDC3/CDM), and Hot Topics (Quantum & HPC).
