Making GenAI a Tool for Everyone - Colin Eberhardt, Scott Logic
Monday September 30, 2024 2:30pm - 3:00pm EDT
Broadway Ballroom North
There is little doubt that GenAI will have an impact on almost every aspect of our business and personal lives. However, we are at an interesting juncture: models are becoming ever more powerful, with prototypes showing ever greater promise, but there remain significant challenges when it comes to the reality of putting this technology into practice. How do we take these astonishing experiments and turn them into something safe and reliable that can ultimately be trusted in the wild? Financial services has a fairly long history with AI and machine learning. However, its place within the industry is shifting. It is no longer the exclusive tool of Data Scientists. Rather it is a tool we are placing in the hands of our engineers, product owners, and, if we are to maximise the benefits, we should be putting it in everyone's hands. But to do-so safely, we need to educate people regarding the strengths and weaknesses, the risks and opportunities this technology presents. Within FINOS, we are forming an AI readiness group that tackles some of these challenges. This talk will take a deep dive, exploring the changes we need to make as AI rapidly becomes a standard tool in our armoury

Two Layers of Protection: How FINOS is Securing Projects and Member Supply Chains - Brian Fox, Sonatype
Monday September 30, 2024 2:30pm - 3:00pm EDT
Royale + Plymouth
Improving software supply chain security starts with a secure foundation. The FINOS community has recently intensified efforts to help members enhance software supply chain security on two critical fronts:

1. Empowering maintainers to assess and improve their dependency ingestion with access to enterprise-grade software composition analysis (SCA)
2. Providing in-depth dependency consumption analysis, including a detailed review of member downloads from Maven Central

In this presentation, Brian Fox, co-founder of Sonatype, the maintainers of Maven Central, will explore the tangible risks the FINOS community is addressing through these initiatives. He’ll walk through a detailed consumption analysis report from Maven Central, sharing industry insights, what these trends reveal about software supply chain risks, and actionable steps organizations can take to enhance their security posture. Additionally, he’ll provide an overview of the SCA tools available to maintainers to reduce risk and improve delivery across FINOS projects.

Unlocking Secure, Open Supply Chains - Emily Fox, Red Hat
Monday September 30, 2024 2:30pm - 3:00pm EDT
Music Box
Consuming open source is only a risky proposition if you don’t take the time to engineer a process that mitigates risk through security best practices of open source. Building a program for your organization to securely consume and contribute to open source is no different than developing new software. It is entirely determined by the practices, policies, technical controls, risk tolerance, and culture you establish and reinforce. From your software supply chain to your running services, open source can be both a reference and a guide to conducting the necessary diligence so that your investment in open source is a reward for you, your engineers, and your business. In this talk, we’ll explore assumptions about open source and open source security, tactics for managing secure open source consumption, reducing or mitigating risk presented by open source, and how to successfully use triangle composition to drive your efforts.

Enterprise Observability Platforms, OpenTelemetry, or Both? - Vamsi Naidu & Mike Kennedy, J.P. Morgan
Monday September 30, 2024 3:10pm - 3:40pm EDT
Uris + Schubert
As financial firms continue to adopt cloud at growing speed, observability has become increasingly critical to help detect and resolve issues and achieve system reliability. Generally, companies with large volumes of pre-existing code look to adopt an industry leading observability platform, which requires minimal effort for adoption, and provides proprietary agents with out-of-the-box instrumentation supporting a wide variety of technologies, infrastructure components, and frameworks. As technology evolves rapidly, observability platforms are challenged to support merging services, applications, and frameworks. During our session, we will discuss how OpenTelemetry (OTel), used in conjunction with other enterprise observability platforms, can complement observability platforms in providing support for newer technologies. Additionally, we will showcase how easy it can be to instrument an application with OTel by leveraging GenAI/ChatGPT, and debunk beliefs that OTel instrumentation requires significant developer overhead.

An Introduction to Software Logistics - Lee Faus, GitLab
Monday September 30, 2024 3:10pm - 3:40pm EDT
Royale + Plymouth
In this session we will look at the software supply chain and its key components from software factory to software logistics.
Software logistics goes beyond just doing a deployment. As we have seen in the common cloud controls project, you have to consider things like provisioning, configuration management, penetration testing, risk mitigation, observation and remediation. These items are usually handled by small teams that leverage tools, many of them open source, to simplify and automate routine tasks. Because a lot of these tools are very specific in nature, we want to look at what an open source
platform to manage all of these tasks might look like and if this could assist the common cloud controls working group. Finally, we will discuss areas where artificial intelligence could play a role.

Leveraging Open Standards to Drive Sustainable IT in Financial Services - Oliver Cronk, Scott Logic
Monday September 30, 2024 3:10pm - 3:40pm EDT
Winter Garden
Financial Services Institutions (FSIs) face unique challenges in measuring and reducing their technology carbon footprint due to the scale and complexity of their IT estates. This session provides a broad overview of the challenges and existing standards and resources (including Green Software Foundation SCI, CNCF Kepler etc) - including challenges in terms of trust and comparability. To address many of these challenges the Technology Carbon Standard (TCS) has been created. TCS is an open source framework inspired by the GHG Protocol, provides a standardized approach for FSIs to classify, analyze, and benchmark their tech-related emissions. In this session, we'll discuss how FSIs can apply the TCS to identify carbon-intensive areas, prioritize reduction efforts, and align with regulatory requirements and voluntary commitments. We'll share case studies demonstrating the practical application of the TCS in the financial services context and explore how open collaboration can accelerate the adoption of sustainable IT practices across the industry.

Mastering the Cloud Native Wave: Security Resilience in Modern Systems - Andrew Martin & Francesco Beltramini, ControlPlane
Monday September 30, 2024 3:10pm - 3:40pm EDT
Music Box
Cloud native technologies bring a significant change to the technological landscape, offering unprecedented levels of agility and scalability to modernise IT infrastructure and systems. However, they may potentially introduce substantial added complexity, widen the skills gap, and enlarge the attack surface. Unmanaged adoption will inevitably result in increased risk for any organisation. Security domains and disciplines like open source ingestion, AI/ML secops, threat modeling, security architecture, engineering and incident response need to adapt to the cloud native ecosystem to remain effective. We'll present the most common pain points and pitfalls, to then provide an overview of available countermeasures based on 200+ combined years of cloud native expertise.

Key takeaways: Attendees will be presented with practical techniques to improve common security disciplines (threat modeling, security architecture, engineering, and incident response) for modern cloud-native systems. They will leave with an understanding of what enhancements are required to maximise their usability and effectiveness.

Attendees will be presented with (i) an overview of challenges associated with cloud native technologies, (ii) a focus on risks and skill gaps, (iii) practical techniques to improve common security disciplines (threat modelling, security architecture, engineering, and incident response) for modern cloud native systems, (iv) an understanding of what enhancements are required to maximise their usability and effectiveness, (iv) a reusable methodology for de-risking cloud native technologies adoption.

Monday September 30, 2024 4:10pm - 4:40pm EDT
Royale + Plymouth
Change Management team implemented GenAI based framework for reviewing quality of change implementation requests (CIR) for making production software or infrastructure changes, that ensures a certain standard and guidelines are adhered potentially preventing the production impact, and possibility of Change Control Failure resulting in an audit or regulatory findings. For an ecosystem that completes thousands of changes each year, this framework provides an efficient method to review change quality, ensure SDLC compliance and implement change controls. GenAI Assisted Quality check: Introduction of LLM based evaluation of CIR: •Every CIR will be scanned through LLM using pre defined rubrics, in case it is not up to a certain standard, or missing any information, the AI assistant will prompt back to user to provide the information to create a complete CR. •This is implemented using zero shot prompt and completion inference of LLM model. Graph based RAG Status: •CIRs are stored in a graph data structure, through which relations are captured •LLM is used for generating cypher queries to traverse the knowledge graph to determine relevant relation between CIRs and flag potential risk

Building Observable Applications While Upholding Data Security Standards - Sateesh Mamidala, Capital One
Monday September 30, 2024 4:10pm - 4:40pm EDT
Uris + Schubert
As applications evolve from monolithic to distributed systems, teams must comprehend the path of each transaction across various systems to assess each system's performance. This is critical in financial systems where transaction speed directly impacts financial outcomes and customer experience. However, a key concern is determining the optimal level of observability for applications. Injecting excessive observability elements into the code can potentially degrade application performance and added risk of sensitive data exposure. How can one decide what to monitor without compromising application performance? This talk explores the challenges of instrumenting high-throughput, high-performance applications without compromising their performance. It also addresses strategies for maximizing system observability to swiftly pinpoint root causes of issues, while managing the risks associated with implementing intricate observability solutions, including potential exposure of sensitive data

Deploy Your AI/ML Model to the Cloud Using Open Source Software - Florenz Hollebrandse, JPMorganChase
Monday September 30, 2024 4:50pm - 5:20pm EDT
Royale + Plymouth
Large financial institutions typically deploy their IT services across a number of private and public cloud providers. This asks for a platform-agnostic design of software applications to minimize the amount of rework required to migrate services between platforms. This applies to AI/ML models deployed for inference as much as any other software. In this presentation, we present an innovative framework ("inference-server") to streamline the deployment of an AI/ML model to the cloud. The framework is published by J.P. Morgan Chase at https://github.com/jpmorganchase/inference-server The framework abstracts the cloud infrastructure and connectivity aspects through a simple plugin system. This requires an ML software engineer to define an ML model as 2 functions only: 1) to load the model in memory and 2) to invoke that loaded model for a given set of input features. These 2 functions are then added to a Docker container image along the inference-server framework. This approach leads to a very modular design where an AI/ML model can be trivially tested in a development environment. If required the model could be deployed and accessed from any cloud computing platform.

Advanced Power Monitoring with Kepler - Marius Bogoevici & Aric Rosenbaum, Red Hat
Monday September 30, 2024 4:50pm - 5:20pm EDT
Uris + Schubert
Energy consumption has an increasing impact on financial institutions - in terms of cost, environmental footprint, and available capacity. In 2022, the world’s data centers consumed 1% of the world’s total energy, expected to grow to 8% in the following years. As financial institutions try to continuously innovate, they also incur large energy bills. Financial institutions know their total energy footprint, but lack data that enables them to optimize applications, place them in data centers with lower energy cost or environmental impact, or to make tradeoffs between performance and energy consumption. What they lack is application-level power monitoring. Kepler is a CNCF project founded by Red Hat’s emerging technologies group with contributions from IBM Research and Intel. It is an open source project that captures power metrics across a wide range of platforms, focusing on reporting, reduction and regression. In this talk, powered by a live demo, we will introduce Kepler and show how it helps enterprises understand their energy footprint and improve their IT operations, and how community members can contribute to the project, especially for adding new supported platforms.

What does it take to provide a seamless experience for governing architecture - from creating and approving architecture to measuring compliance. How does architecture-as-code help in delivering a measurable and objective approach to align architecture with target roadmaps? How to manage tactical shortcuts and time-to-market decisions? Can architecture-as-code help keep architecture evergreen and can it identify and highlight architecture drift? These and other questions are discussed with a case study of Breeze - an architecture-as-code solution built by Morgan Stanley. It provides an extensible framework to support modules for various tasks such as creating and reviewing architecture, identifying adherence to architecture patterns, capturing immutable architecture snapshots, validating releases against approved architecture, etc. It is in the works to be open sourced and captures architecture-as-code in an open-source format, using CALM (https://github.com/finos/architecture-as-code).

Embracing AI: The Productivity Polarity - Kevin Alwell, GitHub
Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:10am - 11:40am EDT
Royale + Plymouth
In this thought-provoking presentation, we explore the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on software development within the financial services industry. Drawing parallels with historical technological revolutions that reshaped economies, such as the Roman water mills, the steam engine, and the early 2000s push for automation, we demonstrate how AI is poised to be the ultimate general-purpose technology of our time. We delve into the economic and technological implications of AI adoption, highlighting how it drives increased productivity, cost reductions, and an unprecedented expansion of demand for innovative financial products and services. The presentation underscores the emerging productivity polarity, where those who embrace AI will gain a significant competitive advantage over those who resist its integration. Recognizing the pivotal role of open source in driving innovation within the finance sector, we emphasize the urgency for technologists to seamlessly incorporate AI into their daily workflows. By doing so, developers can position themselves as vanguards, fostering collaboration and unlocking new frontiers in open finance software development.

Deploy TraderX Across Clouds Using the New CNCF Project, Radius - Jonathan Smith & Will Tsai, Microsoft
Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:10am - 11:40am EDT
Broadway Ballroom North
Radius is a new Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project. It is a cloud-native application platform that enables developers and platform engineers who support them to collaborate on delivering and managing cloud-native applications that follow corporate best practices for security, cost and operations by default. It supports deploying applications across private cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, with more cloud providers to come. This talk will show how easy it is to deploy and manage a popular open-source trading application, TraderX, to multi-cloud environments without requiring the developer to configure cloud-specific infrastructure. The session will also illustrate how Radius enables better collaboration across developers and operators through features like: the Radius application dashboard, which provides developers and operators a common graphical view of TraderX, as deployed across clouds and; Radius Recipes, which give TraderX developers self-serve access to cloud resources, such as SQL databases, while enabling operators to define and enforce best practices for security, cost and operations regarding how cloud resources are consumed.

When leveraging AI in financial services, there are new technologies and security challenges to tackle in addition to the usual DevOps and scaling considerations. As now exists several sources of information for AI security best practices, we are not left on our own. But practically applying them in your project is not so well described. In this talk, Rowan Baker and Vicente Herrera will explain how to start with a security guideline recommendation like the “Simple Governance Framework” from the FINOS AI Readiness Group and apply it to a real project They will show how to transform the recommendations into real actions and how specific controls or mitigations have been chosen and implemented in a practical way. Some approaches may be conventional but important, like those regarding supply chain security, others will be more AI specific and novel. They will also show how the guidelines may not cover specific implementation, how to extend the coverage and contribute back so others benefit from the knowledge you have gained.

Leveraging FDC3 to Enable AI Agent Navigation - Sara Swanson; Lokeshwar Manoharan; Ajay Mehta & Abhishek Pandey, JPMorgan Chase
Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:50am - 12:20pm EDT

In this session, you will learn how we have enabled AI Agent Navigation across our financial desktop platform.

Well-defined FDC3 intents can enable generative navigation, improving the Copilot experience on our platform, Connect Coach. FDC3 standards have enhanced interoperability between financial applications, allowing seamless communication and data sharing. However, discovering specific actions or operations (intents) remains challenging, causing friction in user experiences. Our Connect Platform has over 500 intents based on user navigation patterns and demands. We have integrated Large Language Models (LLMs) into the intent discovery process to increase user efficiency. LLMs can interpret user needs expressed in natural language and determine the most relevant intents.

Learn more about how we did this and our vision to use FDC3 to enable a "self-driving" experience for our users.

Building and Running an HPC Grid Using Cloud Native Services - Flamur Gogolli & Kirill Bogdanov, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Tuesday October 1, 2024 1:35pm - 2:05pm EDT
Uris + Schubert
Running a high-performance computing platform is completely different as you move to the cloud. The emphasis on rapid, intelligent task scheduling to maximise the use of static on-premises compute clusters and the need to provide multi-tenancy at the cluster-level goes away. In this session, we will present HTC-Grid, an open-source high-throughput compute (HTC) grid system built on top of tried and tested cloud native services. HTC-Grid recognises that the game has changed and that the traditional schedulers often employed in financial services solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore. HTC-Grid addresses massive computational demands by combining very high-throughput scheduling, low round-trip latency and seamless infrastructure orchestration. HTC-Grid incorporates learnings from many FSI customers re-inventing their grid systems for the cloud. The project was initially developed as an open-source blueprint by AWS, but has been donated to FINOS in order to share the obtained knowledge, provide a reference architecture that can be used to build and adapt a modern high-throughput compute solution, and to incorporate contributions from customers and other CSPs alike.

At the end of this thirty minute hands-on walkthrough, we will have created an enterprise grade FDC3 application. It will look amazing and demonstrate true value to a front office user. We will show that FDC3 is nothing to be intimidated by and that your existing web development skills will enable to you build something fantastic without a massive learning curve. FDC3 is an exciting technology which promises to revolutionise how capital market users consume software. The basic concepts of FDC3 are relatively simple but developers are sometimes put off by the myriad of vendors, libraries and swathes of documentation. Engineers recently introduced to FDC3 can find the learning curve frustrating compared to more familiar front end technologies. In this session, we will take participants through the process of building a simple but useful FDC3 compliant component using the Genesis platform. We will then show how that component can be used to compose a realistic capital markets application.

Adapting Open Source License Practices in the Age of LLMs - Brian Warner & Tanya Courcey, Fidelity Investments
Tuesday October 1, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT
Winter Garden
For many years, the landscape of open source licensing seemed stable and predictable. However, the advent of large language models (LLMs) has introduced new licenses and raised numerous questions about the application of existing open source licenses. At Fidelity, our Open Source Program Office (OSPO) and legal team have evolved our processes to navigate these changes and better understand what they require of us. This session will provide a practical case study and an accessible discussion on how OSPOs and legal teams can collaborate effectively in this evolving landscape.

Paying Maintainers to Improve Open Source Security Outcomes. a Case Study. - Donald Fischer, Tidelift
Tuesday October 1, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT
Broadway Ballroom North
Most efforts to improve the security of the open source software supply chain revolve around finding and remediating vulnerabilities, and an entire industry has been built around vulnerability patch management. But there is another way to improve open source security outcomes proactively instead of waiting for vulnerabilities to appear: paying maintainers to ensure their projects follow secure software development practices. In this session, Donald Fischer, CEO, Tidelift, shares the results of a recent program where maintainers were paid recurring income to validate that their projects follow secure software development practices ( i.e. Open SSF Scorecards, NIST SSDF). Among other findings, this experiment resulted in projects improving their OpenSSF Scorecards scores by an average of 57%. Donald will also share data from a new open source maintainer survey showing what additional practices maintainers are willing to implement when they are paid for their work. He will also provide strategies financial services organizations interested in reducing supply chain risk from open source packages can use to make open source maintainers part of their security strategy.

GenAI Use Cases, From PoC to Production - Sergio Gago Huerta, Moody's
Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT
Royale + Plymouth
Generative AI has plenty of use cases in Finance. From the customer support on the front office, to research, business analysis and optimization of investment cases. However most companies get stuck at the "Proof of concept" stage. While it is relatively quick to create a demo with a "Wow effect", building the right pipelines, governance, security and controls and in general get the buy in and approvals from legal and compliance teams is extremely hard. In this presentation we will show a detailed runbook on how to leverage Generative AI cases at scale in the organization, from the perspective of the first company that delivered a production application in the market. We will review how to build an open innovation system that promotes collaboration in what we called "The era of the 14.000 innovators" where every employee became a prompt engineer. And how we harnessed that power to put dozens of use cases in production (internal and external) as well as the edge research on agents and beyond.

Realizing Operating Efficiency with CDM and LLM - Daniel Schwartz, FT Advisory & Plamen Neykov, CLOUDRISK Limited
Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT
Music Box
As its adoption increases, CDM will become central to the opportunity for Capital Markets to use standards to drive operating efficiency. It is no surprise that the result of shared common data and event modeling will reduce complexity whether in terms of operations or technology support. Our session explores how to realize these efficiencies with a proposed microservices based reference architecture that leverages the standard internally and externally and aligns with modern database technology. The result will be a new collaborative distributed processing model. In addition, since firms are likely to utilize their own proprietary data models for specific use cases, a critical component of this architecture is the ability to transform back and forth between those internal models and the standard. To facilitate navigating and aligning to those internal models, we leverage an LLM trained in CDM to simplify the identification of relevant data elements and support their bi-directional mappings. The key intent is to use the LLM to understand the structure of CDM vs internal models and, thereby, create mappings either directly or by generating code and assisting software engineers.

From InnerSource to Open Source - Javier Alvarez, Discover Financial Services
Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT
Winter Garden
InnerSource is a common topic in many organizations, often discussed in the context of enhancing team collaboration and resource utilization. While numerous teams have embraced this model from a product perspective, we recognized an opportunity to focus on a different set of assets aimed at component reuse. Our approach at Discover goes beyond the traditional product approach. We noticed a gap where valuable reusable components are created, yet they fall outside the scope of any single product team. To address this, we have implemented an internal open-source model, encouraging a community-driven development framework. 
 
Discover has pioneered a Foundation model, inspired by open-source principles, designed to foster collaboration, incubate innovation, and govern the development of reusable components built and shared across organizational boundaries. This model includes our internal requirements for maintaining products and libraries, standardizing delivery through pipelines, and community-driven governance structure that ensure the sustainability and scalability of these assets across the organization.  
 
Our strategy focuses on building a culture that supports InnerSource development within the company, encouraging collaboration beyond individual product teams. By leveraging open-source principles, we aim to create elasticity in resource capacity and cultivate a thriving ecosystem of reusable components that benefit the entire company.

OS-Climate: Physical Risk - Where Traditional & Sustainable Finance Converge - Johnny Mattimore & David Kelly BIP Group
Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT
Broadway Ballroom North
Business Use Case: Mortgages & Flood Risk
In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to practically integrate physical risks such as flood, fire, and wind into the core systems and workflows of lenders. Our live user case will be on the impact of Flood Risk on Residential Mortgage lending, showcasing an end-to-end workflow that addresses this critical issue.
Key Objectives
Our session will explore core activities, including data and model sourcing, ingestion, normalisation, calibration, and end-user adoption. We'll explore how these processes can be applied to crucial tasks such as management and regulatory reporting, analysis for business decision-making, and risk and finance capital and solvency management.
Technical Challenges Solved
To solve this complex problem, we've addressed several major technical challenges. First, we've achieved Frictionless Data Integration by leveraging the work completed by OS-Climate members to manage data sourcing and curation through their Data Mesh initiative.
Next, we've ensured Frictionless Application Integration by delivering solutions that adhere to the
FDC3 (FINOS) desktop interoperability standard, accelerating end-user testing and adoption. We've also focused on Product Alignment and extension, integrating OS-Climate Functional Componentry with market-leading commercial offerings. Lastly, we've encouraged the use of Open and Commercial Components, promoting best-in-class commercial data and model products through open APIs and OS-Data contributions for enhanced end-user access.
Why It Matters
In recent decades, there has been a noticeable increase in the frequency and scale of damage to physical assets. Given that these assets represent one of the greatest stores of wealth globally, any potential degradation in their values could have serious economic consequences. This issue extends beyond individual firms, potentially affecting the viability of markets, challenging regulators, and impacting governments on a systemic level.
Advantages for Financial Institutions
By adopting our approach, financial services organisations can swiftly translate C-level strategic goals into tangible changes across business lines and group functions. This method offers substantial improvements in several key areas: dramatically reduced time to market, enhanced scalability of solutions, higher rates of end-user adoption, and significant reductions in both build and maintenance costs.
Financial institutions can position themselves at the forefront of industry innovation in addressing
the convergence of traditional and sustainable finance through physical risk integration. This
proactive stance enables them to effectively manage emerging challenges while capitalising on
new opportunities in an increasingly complex market landscape.

The Role of Corporate Digital Identity Standards to Address Financial Crime - Henry Balani, Encompass Corporation
Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:45pm - 4:15pm EDT
Music Box
Open corporate digital identity standards play a pivotal role in combating financial crime. They provide a framework for secure and reliable identification processes. These standards help to establish trust and ensure that individuals and entities are who they claim to be, which is essential for preventing fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes. By adhering to open corporate digital identity standards, financial institutions can more effectively detect and prevent suspicious activities. For instance, consistent and reliable corporate identity verification processes help to create comprehensive audit trails, making it easier to trace transactions and identify potential illicit activities. This session will delve into how open standards support corporate identity verification and how these standards have improved effectiveness and cost efficiencies for the financial service industry. The discussion will address mechanisms for authentication, data protection, and regulatory compliance - all essential elements in the fight against financial crime.
