Carlotta Tagliaro

Carlotta Tagliaro is a PreDoc Researcher at the Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien, affiliated with the Security and Privacy research group (Institute E192-06). Her work focuses on uncovering security and privacy vulnerabilities in emerging technologies, particularly within IoT ecosystems and Smart TV platforms across Europe.

Her core research spans Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Internet of Things domains, with specific expertise in coordinated vulnerability disclosure processes, IoT backend security, and HbbTV protocol analysis. Methodologically, she combines large-scale empirical studies with static analysis of mobile companion applications to expose real-world risks.

Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate consistent contributions to top security venues like IEEE EuroS&P Workshops, RAID, CCS, and NDSS, revealing critical privacy leaks in European Smart TVs and systemic weaknesses in IoT deployments. Her work directly informs security practices through projects like IoTIO and W4MP.

Tagliaro has supervised Master's research including Danis A.'s 2025 thesis on HbbTV exploitation. She operates within TU Wien's Security and Privacy lab, contributing to multi-year initiatives addressing evolving threats in connected device ecosystems.
