FSV302: An Architecture for Trade Capture and Regulatory Reporting

For many securities organizations, post-trade processing is expensive, cumbersome, and time-consuming. This is in part due to the massive volumes of data required for processing a trade and the limited agility of the technology on which many organizations rely today. In order to create efficiencies and move faster, many financial services organizations are working with AWS to implement post-trade solutions built with AWS storage services (Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier) and big data capabilities (Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon QuickSight ). In this session, we walk through a trade capture and regulatory reporting solution that uses the aforementioned AWS services. We also provide guidance around obtaining data-driven insights (from pixels to pictures); bolstering encryption with AWS KMS; and maintaining transparency and control with Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon CloudTrail (which also helps meet SEC Rule 613 that requires the creation of comprehensive consolidated audit trails).
