Website:ECAVA IntegraXor

IntegraXor is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software system developed by Ecava and first released in 2003.[1] [2]

Function

As a commercial web SCADA system, it is used by engineers as a tool to develop and customize web-based SCADA applications.[3] [4] [5] [6]

Security

Security researchers have found numerous vulnerabilities[7] [8] including a Zero Day vulnerability where major manufacturers and industrial companies in the UK, US and over 30 other countries are being urged to adopt a rapidly-released fix by IntegraXor.[9] The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) itself discovered vulnerabilities in IntegraXor.

In 2013, Ecava released the first known bug bounty program for ICS.[10] [11] However, they received a backlash for offering store credits instead of cash which does not incentivize security researchers.[12]
