Kaspersky Lab has reportedly finished its self-titled OS which has been built from the ground up with the aim of protecting industrial control systems.
Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab at London's Science Museum, April 2016
Russian news website Vedomosti is reporting that Kaspersky Lab has finished building a self-titled operating system (OS) which has been built to try and secure industrial control systems (ICS).
It is reported that the first user of the OS will be Kraftway, which produces IT equipment and will install it onto its routers. The company sells into various markets and verticals including government, healthcare, and education.
Both the government and healthcare sectors have had a tough year; Ronghwa Chong, a Singapore-based FireEye researcher posted on FireEye's Threat Research Blog, about a series of email campaigns aiming Locky ransomware at the healthcare sector throughout August.
Kaspersky told SCMagazineUK.com: "Today, the cyber-security of industrial systems and critical infrastructures is of vital importance. An increasing number of such systems are using devices and channels that interact with the outside world. Sometimes they use equipment that was never intended for external access, not to mention software that was created decades ago and has not been upgraded since!"
Kaspersky went on to explain that, “This is a very serious issue because not only is the continuity of the production process at stake; the environment and even human lives can be at risk."
