London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 02/23/2022 --The attention of the financial regulators in the UK is now turning towards cloud computing providers thanks to the potential problems that could arise for the financial services sector if one of them is hacked. As banking systems become increasingly reliant on cloud services, there is growing concern about the disruption that could be the result of a cyber-attack. The Prudential Regulation Authority is now focusing on cloud providers such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft - all of which have entered into sizable deals with banks in recent years -, in particular looking into ways to access more of their data. Although all UK banks are covered by the Prudential Regulation Authority's operational resilience framework there are concerns that a successful hack could unleash more disruption than this could prevent. At the top of the list is the fear that a combination of factors could be fatal, for example if one or more services failed at the same time as a cyber-attack took place.

As a compliance recruitment firm, Selby Jennings has been following the way that regulators in the UK have been increasingly focused on financial sector use of cloud computing and using compliance measures to improve safety. The firm was established in 2004 and has been supporting organisations across banking and financial services as the sector has quickly evolved. Today, as well as being a compliance recruitment firm, Selby Jennings provides hiring support in a range of connected, and equally vital, fields. This includes sales and trading, insurance and actuarial, private wealth management and corporate and investment banking. The firm has built up a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals over the years, as well as a network of connections at firms of all sizes. This includes global institutions as well as innovative start-ups and SMEs.

In addition, the firm is also the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries.

Today, there are many roles available via the firm including Senior Credit Analyst, Data Scientist and Treasury Model Validation Associate.

The team at Selby Jennings said, "Little did we know that the pandemic would spark a new chapter for financial services. From ever-evolving regulations, mercurial consumer expectations, digital transformation, to the heightened competition from incumbents and new entrants, financial services verticals evolved at lightning speed – all while in a stage of poised recovery with the need to future-proof operations from additional disruption.

Alongside challenges brought on by the pandemic, financial services in 2021 were gripped by the wider political and socio-economic context that was Brexit, as banks and financial institutions packed their bags to move some, or all, of their operations to cities across Europe. However, Financial Services were one of the few bright spots of the past year, providing fuel to the economy and scaling up in a time where many sectors wouldn't take the risk. 2022 is already shaping up to be a record-breaking year in terms of talent movement, and we can't wait to help clients secure that world-class talent."
