A Russian security company plans to release an upgraded exploit pack for 
industrial control software that incorporates a raft of new 
vulnerabilities released by an Italian security researcher.

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.

Gleg supplies Immunity with exploit packs, which are add-ons with 
specific kinds of exploits, for Canvas. Gleg's main product is Agora, 
which integrates with Canvas. Agora is regularly updated with publicly 
disclosed zero-day, or new, vulnerabilties and those discovered by its 
research team.
