Construction Companies Also Embrace Software Safety Trend, Sparrow Leads the Way

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow is accelerating its market leadership in static analysis solutions by supplying its static analysis solution, ‘Sparrow SAST,’ to multiple construction companies.

Sparrow, a leading company in secure coding technology, announced on the 11th that it recently secured projects including the introduction of software vulnerability diagnosis tools for SK Construction, as well as projects with leading domestic construction companies P and D. Other general construction companies are also positively reviewing Sparrow’s solution.

Sparrow SAST is a static analysis tool that accurately and quickly detects security weaknesses in source code. It automatically suggests fix codes to easily and rapidly correct detected vulnerabilities. Recently, it upgraded its false positive detection function by applying artificial intelligence technology. As software usage rapidly increases in everyday life areas such as home appliances, housing, and automobiles, Sparrow SAST has established itself as an essential means to defend against hacking exploiting software security vulnerabilities. Its adoption is gradually expanding from public institutions and financial institutions to general enterprises.

The construction industry, where the importance of software was relatively small, is actively adopting secure coding, showing that awareness of software security is expanding across all industries. A security officer at a construction company explained the reason for adoption, saying, "Recently, awareness of the safety of the Internet of Things (IoT) has increased, and internal and external security verification of company internal systems is also required. Security vulnerability inspection of the source code of all systems is emerging as an essential requirement."

Jang Ilsu, CEO of Sparrow, said, "It is encouraging that construction companies, which previously had low security awareness, have begun to take an interest in security during the development and operation stages of various systems due to the expansion of smart homes."

He added, "As the construction industry increasingly views software security and safety, such as secure coding, as important factors, Sparrow will actively contribute to enabling companies to enhance the quality and security of embedded software-based services."
