Continuous Controls Monitoring in Banking: Technology-Led Mitigation of Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Operational Risks

Overview

In today's complex banking landscape, traditional control frameworks are no longer sufficient to mitigate rising cyber threats, regulatory pressure, and operational disruptions. This white paper explores how Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) enables banks to move from periodic, manual checks to real-time, automated oversight—ensuring better risk visibility, enhanced compliance, and improved operational resilience.

Discover how CCM leverages technologies like AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to deliver proactive risk mitigation, transform governance, and provide measurable business value across cybersecurity, compliance, and operations.
