Sparrow, Security Vulnerability Diagnosis Service at SW Development Security Hub

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow opened the ‘SW Development Security Hub’ in Pangyo on the 3rd and began supporting software (SW) security vulnerability diagnosis services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

As cyberattacks worldwide become more sophisticated, ensuring security from the SW development stage has become crucial. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) have launched the SW Development Security Hub, which provides free SW security vulnerability diagnosis services to help SMEs strengthen their cyberattack response capabilities. Sparrow, which won the project, conducts in-depth diagnosis of SW security vulnerabilities based on extensive experience and proposes measures to ensure SW stability through customized correction guides for companies.

The SW Development Security Hub is equipped with Sparrow SAST, which holds the number one market share in the domestic static analysis tool market. Sparrow’s SW security vulnerability specialists are stationed on-site to provide professional services such as consulting. These specialists visit companies directly to diagnose and address security vulnerabilities in source code according to the latest SW security vulnerability standards. SMEs lacking information security personnel and budgets can protect their services and information from malicious attacks by hackers through this service.

Jang Ilsu, CEO of Sparrow, stated, "The importance of SW security has increased, including the strengthening of SW supply chain security in the cybersecurity executive order announced by U.S. President Joe Biden." He added, "Although often overlooked, most SW developed by SMEs often forms the foundation of the supply chain. The private SW development security support project is more meaningful than ever."

SMEs wishing to receive SW security vulnerability diagnosis can apply online through BohoNara.
