Current Context: The SCBs have sought the nod of the central bank to use cloud services for data storage.
- Given the large volume of transactions, the Servers of the Scheduled Commercial Banks are not enough to host the transaction data. They are also vulnerable to a security breach as there is no standard encryption available to them on the storage.
- The Cloud comes with AES (Advanced Encryption System) that allows them to encrypt the data. Also, there is no clear direction from the central government regarding the Data Protection Law.
- While the cloud will give an upper hand to banks as they will be relieved from their own servers and security architectures. Cloud Infrastructure in India is at a nascent stage. RBI seeks Data Localization, which needs to be discussed, at length.
