SecurityScorecard Acquires Driftnet, Claiming 40% More Internet-Exposed Host Coverage
1 articles · Updated · SiliconANGLE News · May 14
SecurityScorecard bought U.K.-based Driftnet to add real-time internet scanning to its third-party risk platform, though deal terms were not disclosed.
Driftnet’s engine maps the full IPv4 space plus DNS, registry and IPv6 data, and SecurityScorecard said folding it into TITAN AI lets it index 40% more exposed hosts than rivals.
The added visibility is aimed at catching supplier exposures before breaches, especially on non-standard ports, exposed credentials and shadow AI deployments that traditional vendor reviews often miss.
SecurityScorecard said its team recently used Driftnet’s technology to find more than 816,000 internet-exposed OpenClaw AI agent deployments, many already linked to prior breaches.
The deal extends SecurityScorecard’s acquisition push after its September purchase of HyperComply and reflects rising concern over agentic AI risk spreading through supplier environments.
