Cloud data suits allow data aggregation without the need for a physical infrastructure, significantly minimizing cyber threats that feed on locally stored data.  Also, the cloud-based operating model enables financial institutions to cater to a large target audience without having to worry about system overloading or compliance reporting, providing scope for increased revenue generation without incurring additionally.
