Eliot M. Solomon

Eliot Solomon has worked on the leading edge of information technology for more than thirty years. He gained experience in such diverse fields as electronic warfare, military C3, international telecommunications, medical electronics, and office automation equipment. Common to all this work was real time operation, mission- or life-critical significance, distributed and networked computing, and a need for security, privacy, and assured integrity for the information being processed.

For the last seventeen years Solomon has brought his expertise and creativity to the Securities Industry. In fifteen years at the Securities Industry Automation Corporation (SIAC) and its subsidiary SECTOR, Solomon made significant contributions to the architectures of systems and networks the entire market relies on. He was appointed SIAC’s first Distinguished Technologist and Vice President, in recognition not only of his contributions to SIAC, but also to the entire industry.

Solomon is founder and chair of The Securities Industry Middleware Council, Inc. (SIMC), an industry organization that works to improve the infrastructure of the Securities Industry. Solomon has guided SIMC since its founding in 1996, and helped it become a significant influence on the software vendors deliver to the industry, and the way the Securities Industry uses infrastructure technology. At The Open Group (OSF) Solomon chaired the DCE program and is now a member of the Security Forum steering committee. He is frequently invited to speak at major conferences on the subject of linking information security and business policy, and the management of risk and trust.

Solomon has an A.B. in Computer Science from Columbia University and an M.S. in Management of Technology from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York
