SecurityScorecard Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition - Brandon Torio

⚡ In this week’s Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition, Brandon Torio explains why SecurityScorecard’s acquisition of Driftnet is transforming internet exposure visibility, and how new research uncovered hidden pathways between internet-connected security cameras and critical infrastructure systems in a small U.S. municipality.

“That's the kind of security that really matters, the link between cybersecurity and our physical lives.”

🌐 Driftnet enables SecurityScorecard to uncover exposures that traditional internet scanning methods often miss:
🔎 40% more internet-facing hosts identified than other leading competitors
🔎 Greater visibility into third-party attack surfaces across thousands of vendors
🔎 Discovery of hidden attack paths connecting internet-connected systems to critical services

🎥 One of the most compelling findings from the STRIKE team's recent research: internet-connected security cameras operating within the same broader network environments as systems supporting essential municipal services.

The research demonstrates how enhanced internet scanning can reveal real-world connections between cyber risk and physical infrastructure — moving conversations about critical infrastructure security from theory to tangible, actionable findings.
