Controls Engineering: How Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley & FINOS Are Automating SDLC Compliance
Date: November 3rd, 2026
Host: Morgan Stanley
Location: New York
Vibe: Afternoon Session | Informal | Real-talk
An afternoon session for technical leaders to discuss the practical implementation of Automated SDLC Governance.
Banks and financial institutions need to balance the demand for faster software delivery with robust risk controls. Most banks are tackling this problem in isolation and trying to solve it in their own way.
This has created an industry wide situation characterized by vague requirements around controls, arbitrary standards that are hard to justify to auditors, and subjective implementations that don’t scale across organizations.
With AI already producing exponential rates of software changes, we believe now is the time to build a common set of industry standards and definitions for SDLC governance.
