Preview: Three findings from the study

Cybersecurity leads the sourcing agenda. Cybersecurity is the IT area in which most banks - 65% - plan to rely on external support in the future.

Complexity is becoming too great for individual institutions to manage alone. Technological and regulatory requirements are making it increasingly difficult to handle everything internally. Choosing the right partners is therefore becoming a competitive factor.

Data is the foundation for AI. Effective data management is essential for AI. Security, data sovereignty and compliance are directly interconnected.
