Summary
Ciro Bologna is a Principal Software Security Architect based in London with a hands-on engineering background spanning web and API development, databases, and UNIX operations. Over a decade he transitioned into security, specializing in cryptography, authentication protocols, HSMs, IAM and Open Banking use cases, and has translated security requirements into tangible business value at organizations like Barclays and Hyland. He champions pragmatic, developer-friendly security—embedding SAST, SCA, penetration testing and threat modeling into SDLCs and scaling DevSecOps across cloud-native platforms. A CISSP and postgrad student in applied cryptography, he resumed and completed a master's focused on automated CVE-driven penetration testing and is now studying for ISC2 CSSP, reflecting a continuous blend of academic curiosity and production-level delivery. What sets him apart is the combination of early full-stack development empathy with deep protocol-level expertise, enabling secure-by-design solutions that stakeholders actually adopt.
