Veracloud is pleased to announce its official sponsorship and participation in the upcoming 25th NextGen Payments & RegTech Forum, organised by QUBE Events, taking place on 14 October 2026 in Athens, Greece.
As a trusted provider of Microsoft Azure infrastructure, managed security operations, and regulatory compliance frameworks, Veracloud will join international technology leaders, financial executives, and regulatory experts at this flagship event. The forum brings together key figures across the fintech, banking, and regtech sectors to examine emerging compliance obligations, operational resilience strategies, and technological innovation across Europe.
Strengthening Cyber Resilience in Financial Services
Modern financial institutions face an evolving landscape of regulatory requirements, including the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and strict Cloud Security guidelines. Navigating these mandates demands reliable cloud architecture and continuous threat management.
As part of its sponsorship engagement throughout the event, the Veracloud team will connect with industry peers to share practical insights on:
- Building enterprise-grade Managed Detection and Response (MDR) frameworks.
- Implementing robust Azure governance to control security, costs, and compliance.
- Accelerating regulatory readiness through automated Security Operations Centre (SOC) workflows.
Dimitris Poutouris Featured on Panel Discussion
Veracloud is also proud to share that Dimitris Poutouris, Cloud Transformation Lead at Veracloud Greece, will represent the company as a key panellist at the event.
Dimitris will take part in the panel discussion and Q&A session titled "MERCHANT ACCEPTANCE IN GREECE: APPROVAL RATES, COST AND OMNICHANNEL UX". The discussion will explore critical operational and technical themes, including:
- Authorisation Optimisation: Reducing declines and improving authorisation rates through data quality, smart routing, and transaction optimisation.
- Frictionless & Secure Acceptance: Leveraging SoftPOS, tokenisation, and modern authentication protocols to maintain seamless merchant experiences alongside robust security.
- Value-Added Financial Services: Deploying advanced fraud tooling, automated reconciliation, fast payouts, and embedded finance solutions for modern merchants.
Dimitris will be joined on stage by fellow industry leaders:
- Aurelie Voche, Head of Project and Product Management at SysPay
- Michael Kazakos, Head of Commercial (Cards, Issuing and Acquiring) at Finductive
- Christos Taratsides, Fintech BD Lead, EU at Rakuten Viber
Drawing on more than 15 years of leadership across cloud transformation, cybersecurity, and enterprise technology, Dimitris will contribute valuable perspectives on balancing seamless digital customer experiences with strict security controls and infrastructure stability.
