About
Antonio Ciriello is a cybersecurity researcher whose work focuses on the critical intersection of risk assessment and smart city infrastructure. His research centers on the foundational challenge of automatic asset identification, a prerequisite for effective cybersecurity in complex, interconnected urban environments. Ciriello’s most-cited paper, "Automatic assets identification for smart cities: Prerequisites for cybersecurity risk assessments" (2016, 10 citations), redefines the traditional concept of an "organization" to encompass the sprawling, multi-layered structure of smart cities. By establishing a systematic methodology for identifying what constitutes a valuable asset—whether physical, digital, or administrative—within these compound systems, he provides a crucial framework for preempting vulnerabilities. This work is particularly notable for its practical implications: it enables city planners and security teams to map interdependencies across administrative and legislative boundaries, a step often overlooked in conventional risk models. Ciriello’s contributions are foundational for building resilient smart cities, offering a clear, actionable path from asset discovery to robust cybersecurity posture. His research remains a key reference for scholars and practitioners seeking to secure the digital backbone of modern urban life.
