Reid Wightman is a Senior Vulnerability Researcher with Dragos’ Intel team. Reid analyzes publicly disclosed vulnerabilities and determines whether the public reporting is accurate, as well as uncovers just what the true industrial impact of a vulnerability can be. He also performs in-house research and vulnerability assessments on both industrial hardware and software. Reid assists with malware analysis, especially if it involves ICS exploitation.
