Digital Resilience Trends in the Financial Sector
In recent years, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has significantly relaxed cloud adoption regulations, ushering in a new wave of cloud migration in the financial industry. As an industry that heavily relies on information technology, the development of financial technology (FinTech) brings great convenience to customers, yet the growing cybersecurity risks cannot be ignored. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) “Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025,” nearly 72% of organizations believe cyber risks are on the rise, with ransomware, online fraud, phishing, and social engineering identified as major threats.In addition, given that financial information involves a large amount of personal and sensitive data, it has become one of the prime targets for attackers. Therefore, under the dual demands of government and financial institutions, the financial sector faces numerous challenges and must strictly consider compliance requirements and cybersecurity risks.

Benefits of financial industry applications
Strengthening data protection foundations to safeguard industry value
The financial sector has long excelled in cybersecurity, mainly because it manages a large volume of customers’ personal data. Protecting the privacy, rights, and security of this data has become a core responsibility and value of the industry. OmniStor helps enterprises comprehensively strengthen data protection mechanisms—from identity authentication and access control to file transmission and storage encryption—building a solid foundation of data security. This enables enterprises to gradually establish a complete defense architecture, effectively addressing ever-evolving cybersecurity challenges and changes.
Strict regulatory compliance to accelerate cloud adoption
OmniStor provides functions that meet regulatory requirements, enabling financial institutions to comply with rules when migrating to the cloud. From information architecture, activity logging, to security configuration requirements, OmniStor can record logs, control employee access rights, and manage data sharing through its management platform. It also complies with the FSC’s “Third-Party Cloud Outsourcing Regulations.” As ASUS Cloud is a Taiwan-based enterprise, it offers complete in-country support services to help the financial sector accelerate its cloud adoption goals.
Minimize damage instantly and enable rapid recovery to maintain business continuity
Financial cybersecurity incidents are difficult to avoid entirely. Not only should prevention be emphasized beforehand, but disaster recovery afterward is also critical. Many financial institutions are meticulous in cybersecurity management yet neglect disaster recovery, often suffering severe losses due to a lack of mechanisms. OmniStor, built on a cloud-native architecture, provides enterprises with a highly secure storage and backup platform. It offers convenient storage and easy restoration, eliminating complex backup and recovery processes. This allows enterprises to quickly respond to downtime, shorten recovery time, and resume operations rapidly, greatly reducing business interruption losses while saving time and costs.
