About
Karl Waedt is a leading researcher in cybersecurity risk assessment and critical infrastructure protection, with a particular focus on smart cities and industrial control systems. His work addresses the foundational challenge of automatic asset identification—a prerequisite for effective cybersecurity risk management in complex, interconnected urban environments. In his highly cited 2016 paper, Waedt extended traditional organizational asset concepts to encompass the sprawling, multi-jurisdictional structures of smart cities, providing a systematic methodology for identifying and cataloguing valuable digital and physical assets. This contribution is essential for enabling robust risk assessments in environments where administrative and legislative boundaries blur. With over 10 citations on this seminal work alone, Waedt’s research has shaped how practitioners and policymakers approach cybersecurity in the Internet of Things (IoT) and critical infrastructure domains. His achievements include advancing automated tools for vulnerability analysis and contributing to international standards for smart city security, making his work indispensable for engineers and researchers building resilient, secure urban systems.
