Building operational resilience with agentic AI in financial services

Operational resilience is crucial for financial institutions, with regulations like the EU's DORA increasing stringent requirements. Firms must prove their critical services can withstand disruption and recover effectively. Deutsche Bank addressed this by developing an AI-powered agentic resilience platform with Google Cloud. This platform transforms manual resilience exercises into context-aware, evidence-driven simulations using real operational data. It builds enterprise context from various sources to generate realistic scenarios and regulator-ready artifacts. The dual-orchestration architecture separates traceable, deterministic regulator-aligned execution using LangGraph from adaptive, agent-driven scenarios using Google ADK. This approach provides both control and flexibility, enabling consistent resilience models for exercises and real events. The platform leverages Google Cloud services like Cloud Run, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google ADK, and Cloud SQL. These tools facilitate scalable, evidence-ready resilience testing, producing consistent and audit-ready documentation. This model informs future testing with insights from real incidents, creating a continuous feedback loop for enhanced resilience. Deutsche Bank's objective is to meet regulatory expectations for complex systems through an intelligent, continuously adaptive resilience model.
