If we talk particularly about BFSI sector government now also encouraging people to use the modes of online payment and try to adapt “Less Cash” Economy which develops the Opportunity as well as challenge for the Banking sector.

Face of banking sector has changed a lot in the past few years where the online banking applications are introduced which are capable of solving your many banking problems on the go, transactions can be made within seconds with the help of application thus gives power to you but also it generates a lot of data which is needed to be kept secured and organized.
