The robustness of the securities infrastructure is essential to generate trust in the capital market. DCV has been promoting investments and exploring improvements in its operating sites system. These include the search for alternative routes to ensure connectivity and a "cold site" as part of its resilience strategy.
A fundamental pillar of DCV's work is to be at the forefront of technology. This implies an effort to manage technology and work with technological tools not only as allies but also as services that must be optimized on a permanent basis, considering the fact that systems can become obsolete quickly.
Investment in infrastructure expansion and modernization is not only a technological commitment but also a commitment to build trust in the market. The challenge is to be an entity that guarantees operational continuity, being "the last to fall and the first to recover," says Guillermo Toro, Technology and Cybersecurity Manager.
The ability to operate simultaneously and in a balanced manner at all locations is an innovation. While other players use recovery sites only in extreme cases, DCV seeks to have its customers connect to any of its data centers, thus ensuring a homogeneous and high-quality experience.
In this regard, Guillermo Toro explains that "among the challenges identified is the need to diversify the communication routes to the data centers. Alternate routes are being explored to ensure that, in the event of any eventuality, the time to reconnect and return to normal operations will be less than two hours".
Another innovative aspect is the possibility of incorporating a "cold site" in the cloud. This model implies having an infrastructure that, without being constantly active, can be quickly "unfrozen" in the event of major incidents or cyber-attacks. The implementation of a cold site would make it possible to isolate information and safeguard operational continuity without exposing all active sites to simultaneous risks.
In the event of a major outage that compromises the platforms in use, this site may be activated or "unfrozen" to ensure operational continuity.
Transparency and trust are enhanced by demonstrating that the system is designed to cope with technological crises as well as natural disasters or cyber-attacks. The integration of additional security measures and the continuous improvement in connectivity resilience strengthen DCV's operational capacity and position it solidly to face risks.
This strategy, based on high technological standards, adequate risk management, and a vision of operational continuity, demonstrates that DCV is a fundamental pillar for the development and stability of the Chilean securities market.
