And that’s true: founded in 1956, FICO introduced analytic solutions–such as credit scoring–that have made credit more widely available in the US and around the world. As well, the FICO score is the standard measure of consumer risk in the US.In the video, Sven explains that FICO is making software to meet regulatory compliance goals and requirements, in this case to tackle money laundering. FICO ingests a massive amounts of customer data in the form of financial documents into S3, and then uses S3 to trigger and analyze each document for a number of different fraud and money laundering characteristics.Key architecture components are designed to be immutable, assuring that the EC2 instances doing the analysis work themselves can’t be compromised and tampered with. But as well, an unchangeable instance can scale very fast and allow for the ability to ingest a large amount of documents. It can also scale back when there is less demand. The immutable images also support regulatory requirements for the various needs and regulations of localities around the world.*Check out moreThis Is My Architecturevideos on YouTube.TAGS:amazon s3,AWS Step Functions,CloudWatch (Logs & Events/Rules),FinancialAnnik StahlAnnik Stahl is a Senior Program Manager in AWS, specializing in blog and magazine content.
