I do believe AWS is likely far more secure than any DIY computing environment but even so, should banking be on cloud infrastructure? I'm not saying I think this is a bad idea but it came to mind when I read this.
Also, is it really a good idea for a bank to be talking openly about its security strategy? Isn't an important part of security not to let on anything that might be used against you? For example if determined hackers know your systems then they can keep an eye out long term for vulnerabilities in those technologies and be ready to strike. Does this sort of thing matter or not?
