Automating Digital Forensics to Improve Time Savings Using AWS
[2020] When a security issue arises, companies need answers quickly. This often starts with manual, time-consuming evidence collection and log correlation, which is prone to human error. Goldman Sachs automated an event-driven response solution that uses AWS native services to successfully collect disk and memory evidence from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. This AWS Online Tech Talks episode provides an overview of Goldman Sachs's environment and dives deep on how the bank built this automated function on AWS.
Goldman Sachs Uses AWS Transfer Family to Solve Its MFT Requirements
[2021] Operating in a highly regulated industry, Goldman Sachs relies on the cloud to securely manage, deliver, collect, and make available millions of files every day. Timeliness is key as clients, regulatory agencies, and vendors all rely on having critical data at the right time. James Bates and Shashi Kant Bhushan, executive directors of technology at Goldman Sachs, discuss how Goldman Sachs uses AWS to meet its managed file transfer (MFT) needs and further its cloud strategy during this re:Invent 2021 discussion.
Goldman Sachs and AWS Collaborate to Create New Data Management and Analytics Solutions for Financial Services Organizations
[2021] Goldman Sachs announced the launch of Goldman Sachs Financial Cloud for Data with AWS—a new suite of cloud-based data and analytics solutions for financial institutions. This unique collaboration redefines how clients can discover, organize, and analyze data in the cloud, thereby gaining rapid insights and driving informed investment decisions. Institutional clients will benefit from decades of Goldman Sachs’s experience to address data management and analytics challenges.
Reinventing Financial Data Analytics on AWS
[2021] Performing sophisticated data management and analytics can create a critical advantage in financial markets, but doing so with speed and scale requires significant time and resources. Goldman Sachs is addressing this challenge by building a cloud-native, modular, and integrated collection of services to enable innovation in financial data analytics. The bank rearchitected its proprietary data and analytics capabilities using AWS to make it easier to discover, combine, and analyze data in minutes.
One of the main focuses for us is data management. It’s critical to everything we do in financial services. We’ve been re-platforming our core data architecture onto AWS, enabling us to deploy at scale, take advantage of the latest cloud technologies, and really increase the speed and scale that we can operate our business. AWS allows us to achieve the kind of business velocity that we can’t achieve on premises.
