In a period where technological complexity is growing and regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly stringent, the concept of resilience is taking on central importance for banks.
Legacy systems coexisting with modern cloud infrastructures, multi-layered architectures, and increased security and governance requirements create a demanding environment in which technology strategy can no longer operate in isolation.
These are precisely the issues that will be at the center of the fireside chat titled 'The Resilient Bank: Navigating Legacy Code, Multi-Cloud Architectures, and DORA Compliance,' as part of the 13th Banking, Payments and Fintech Forum and Expo presented by Logicom.
In the discussion, Pavlos Kleanthous, Founder & CEO of Parsectix, will highlight the challenges and choices that banks must make in order to maintain their business continuity and technological agility. The fireside chat is expected to focus, moreover, on how organisations can manage their technological “core”, integrate multi-computing environments and align with the DORA framework, without undermining innovation and speed.
The discussion is part of a broader agenda that examines how digital transformation impacts every aspect of banking operations, from risk management and regulatory compliance to efficiency and customer experience.
The conference
The 13th Banking, Payments and Fintech Forum and Expo returns, aspiring to be the leading event for the financial sector of Cyprus and the wider region.
The conference, which will take place on 19 January at the Hilton Nicosia, comes at a time of intense transformation, where the banking system is called upon to respond to increased regulatory requirements, technological changes and new expectations from businesses and consumers.
The focus of the discussions will be on the role of banks as a pillar of economic stability, as well as the strategic priorities that shape the European and Cypriot banking environment.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the directions of monetary policy and supervision and the way in which these influence the strategy, operation and investment decisions of banking institutions.
At the same time, the forum will analyse the prospects of the European banking sector within an environment of geopolitical changes and increased compliance requirements.
This year's event takes on a special significance through the participation of four heads of banking organizations, who are invited to publicly address the choices, priorities and dilemmas that shape the new era of banking.
Their presence confirms the forum's role as a point of reference, where trends are recorded, challenges are highlighted and strategic thinking for the sector is formed.
Of particular interest is the keynote speech by the Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, Christodoulos Patsalides. A speech that is expected to capture the overall picture regarding the prospects of the banking system, the role of the Central Bank and the priorities that are set in alignment with the agenda of the European Central Bank.
The programme also includes topics related to the transition of corporate banking and the changing expectations of business customers, through data, surveys and satisfaction measurements.
The evolution of digital payments, electronic money and new business models that change the way transactions are made will be a key focus of discussion, as will the use of artificial intelligence and digital assets as innovation drivers.
At the same time, issues of security, regulatory compliance and ethics will be raised, as well as the future of risk management in an increasingly digital banking environment.
The transformation of banking operations and the back office, aiming for efficiency, automation and operational flexibility, completes the agenda of the event.
Who it concerns
The event will bring together leaders from the banking, finance and technology sectors to discuss the trends, challenges and opportunities that will define the future of banking in 2026 and beyond.
It is aimed at Board members, CEOs and senior executives of banks, investment firms, insurance organizations, FinTechs, EMIs, Payment Institutions, as well as executives from regulatory authorities, accounting and law firms, consultants and technology solution providers.
