The Securities Industry Automation Corporation (SIAC) is a subsidiary of
the NYSE Euronext. Its purpose is to provide technical services for the
exchanges themselves, members and other financial institutions. In this
role, SIAC provides the computers and other systems required to run the
exchanges. It also owns communication lines and hardware to provide
real-time quotes and transaction information to all market participants
from the Consolidated Tape/Ticker System (CTS), Consolidated Quotation
System (CQS), and Options Price Reporting Authority (OPRA).

this was before

note HA/CMP effort included handling attacks, not just failure modes.

It was in this period that I also coined the term disaster servivability
and geographic servivability. I was also asked to write section for the
corporate stratetegic continuous availability document. However, the
section got pulled because both the rochester people (as/400) and pok
people (mainframe) said they could meet the requirements. some past

after leaving IBM, one of the first things was being brought in as
consultants to small client/server startup that wanted to do payment
trasnactions on their server, the startup at also invented this
technology called "SSL" they wanted to use, it is now frequently called
"electronic commerce". I had complete authority over the webserver to
payment networks ... which included huge amount of firewalls and HA
redundancy (including geographic survivability). However, I could only
make recommendations on the client/server side ... some of which were
almost immediately violated, that continue to account for some number of
exploits.

later at financial industry infrastructure protection meetings,
securities industry participation were some of the most difficult

securities industry was amoung the most insistant on the FS/ISAC not be
government operation and therefor subject to FOIA ... concern that
public might become aware of some of the things that go on.
