Sparrow Wins Electronic Government Software Security Vulnerability Diagnosis Project for 3 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow announced on the 14th that it has won the e-Government software (SW) security vulnerability diagnosis project for three consecutive years since its spin-off from Pasky.

The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) conducts the e-Government SW security vulnerability diagnosis and mobile app verification project to develop secure software capable of responding to cyberattacks exploiting software security weaknesses. Sparrow inspects software vulnerabilities operated by the e-Government through Sparrow SAST, which holds the number one market share in the domestic secure coding market.

Sparrow diagnoses source code security issues and web vulnerabilities for web application systems serviced by public institutions such as central government ministries and local governments. It then provides guidance on the results and corrective actions. It also supports security verification by diagnosing source code for mobile apps. Additionally, it operates a diagnosis status management and mobile app verification statistics management system.

Sparrow SAST is a static analysis tool that accurately and quickly detects security weaknesses in source code. It automatically suggests correction codes to fix detected vulnerabilities easily and promptly. Recently, it improved its false positive and false negative detection capabilities by applying artificial intelligence technology. Sparrow SAST is used in various sectors including public institutions, finance, and enterprises. It has been recognized for its technological prowess overseas as well, supplying to the largest telecommunications company in China.

Jang Ilsu, CEO of Sparrow, said, "Sparrow has been consistently selected as the executing company for this project, which requires experts holding developer security diagnosis qualifications and the ability to diagnose source code security vulnerabilities," adding, "This recognition reflects satisfaction not only with our technological capabilities but also with our personnel."
