The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s consolidated audit trail, or CAT, will now use Amazon Web Services as its cloud provider for market-surveillance data.
FINRA’s CAT processes order information for all public U.S. equities and listed options, which typically includes about 100 billion market events each day taking place at 22 stock exchanges and involving 1,500 broker-dealers.
“We are responsible for providing regulators with a consolidated view of the markets, so security, scalability, and resiliency are at the forefront of the design for the CAT platform,” said FINRA CAT CTO Scott Donaldson, in a statement. “FINRA has deep and tested experience in creating such an environment on AWS, and in view of that track record, FINRA CAT is pleased to select AWS for this major project.”
