The Hidden Risk Lurking Behind Digital Transformation
Ricardo Mariano Gonzalez examines how technology concentration risk is emerging as one of the most significant operational resilience challenges facing financial institutions. He argues that while firms have improved oversight of individual third parties, they often fail to understand the shared technology dependencies that connect entire industries. The article explores ICT concentration risk, ecosystem-wide vulnerabilities, governance expectations under evolving regulation, and why boards must take a broader view of resilience in an increasingly interconnected digital environment.
