Reid Wightman
Summary: Reid Wightman is a Senior Vulnerability Researcher on Dragos' Intel team, where he analyzes publicly disclosed vulnerabilities to check whether public reporting is accurate and to determine their true industrial impact. Before Dragos, he worked as a security consultant at Digital Bond and IOActive and began his industrial security career at Schweitzer Engineering Labs testing digital protective relays and other grid-related products.
Bottom line: The person assessing whether a vulnerability report is accurate and what it actually means for industrial equipment sits on a vendor's intel team, so the accuracy of that public reporting is the difference between a control engineer patching on real risk or on a misread advisory.
