[ NNSquad ] Kaspersky developing "secure" OS for SCADA 

Kaspersky developing "secure" OS for SCADA

http://j.mp/OFpn6T  (Kaspersky)

   "First I'll answer the most obvious question: how will it be possible
    for KL to create a secure OS if no one at Microsoft, Apple, or the
    open source community has been able to fully secure their respective
    operating systems? It's all quite simple really.  First: our system is
    highly tailored, developed for solving a specific narrow task, and not
    intended for playing Half-Life on, editing your vacation videos, or
    blathering on social media. Second: we're working on methods of
    writing software which by design won't be able to carry out any
    behind-the-scenes, undeclared activity. This is the important bit: the
    impossibility of executing third-party code, or of breaking into the
    system or running unauthorized applications on our OS; and this is
    both provable and testable."

The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating.  We shall see.
