Financial Sector Cloud Resilience Forum, established by the Monetary Authority of

Singapore (MAS), conducted a crisis management tabletop exercise on 6 November

2024. The exercise, which is the first of its kind in the region, simulated a severe

public cloud incident disrupting multiple financial sectors across the region.

The exercise enabled Forum members to strengthen their mutual understanding

of one another’s incident response playbooks, identify possible supervisory

interventions, and collaborate on measures to mitigate the impact of a severe public

cloud service disruption. The exercise also demonstrated the importance of close

collaboration and communication between financial regulators and CSPs during an

incident to improve situational awareness, inform decision-making, and coordinate

efforts to recover from disruption.

The exercise was attended by senior representatives from financial authorities

from the region and global CSPs in the Forum.

Mr Vincent Loy, Assistant Managing Director (Technology), MAS, and

Chairperson of the Forum, said, “Cloud adoption is set to increase as the financial

industry presses ahead with digital transformation. This Forum provides an important

avenue for regional financial authorities and global CSPs to work together to improve

operational resilience in the financial sector. This inaugural exercise is timely as it

helps to strengthen processes for responding to a major public cloud incident in the

financial sector. Through the exercise, both the financial authorities and CSPs have

gained deeper insights on how to coordinate their efforts effectively in responding to

and recovering from disruptions, and maintain public confidence in the financial

sector”.
