The three-person company, called Gleg, is based in Moscow and specializes in vulnerability research. It recently began focusing on problems within SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems, which are used in factories, utilities and many other kinds of industrial applications, said Yuriy Gurkin, Gleg's CEO. Gleg works with the Miami company Immunity, which sells a tool called Canvas, which is a framework for penetration testers wanting to try out the latest exploits against software vulnerabilities, along the same lines as the Metasploit tool.
