Back in 2005, a group of security geeks started to focus its interest into Critical Infrastructures security. Each one with a different background, they found their effective-power in the approach they took: penetration testers, risk analysis experts, hackers, joining all together their efforts, experiences and views.

The result of all the above led to the creation of CrISTAL, an acronym for “Critical Infrastructures Security Testing and Analysis Lab”, where the Core Research Team decided to joint the results of their analysis.

CrISTAL aims to develop security methodologies for the SCADA environments, produce active research and tools, as well as sharing information and the gained know-how, making an higher level of security into these particular IT infrastructures.

External collaboration with CrISTAL is totally welcomed and can be asked by private users, company users or government institutions.

Welcome to the SCADA security world!
