Market-infrastructure technology provider Vermiculus has appointed Alexander Kilian as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Kilian will coordinate security and compliance across the company’s operations, products and customer engagements. His remit includes governance, risk and compliance, third-party risk reviews, artificial intelligence governance and customer security requirements.
The appointment gives formal organisational responsibility to work Kilian already performed at Vermiculus. He will combine the CISO role with his customer-facing responsibilities, connecting security requirements with product design and delivery.
“Combining my responsibilities as CISO with the customer-facing work I already do will help connect these requirements with how we design and deliver our solutions,” Kilian said.
Kilian has more than 30 years of information technology experience, including over 25 years in financial technology. He joined Vermiculus shortly after its formation and has worked on integrations, deployments and resilience across customer projects.
Those projects include work involving Japan Exchange Group, Australian Securities Exchange, London Metal Exchange and the Options Clearing Corporation. Kilian previously held roles at OM, now part of Nasdaq, and Cinnober Financial Technology.
Vermiculus supplies trading, clearing and central securities depository technology. The appointment places security coordination alongside its customer delivery work for financial-market infrastructures.
