[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow announced on the 14th that it has won the project “Establishment of a Self-Diagnosis System for Small and Medium Software (SW) Security Vulnerability Diagnosis and Development Security,” led by the Ministry of Science and ICT.


This is a large-scale project supporting a security vulnerability diagnosis system for small and medium enterprises and small and medium SW operators who find it difficult to apply software development security. It involves conducting on-site SW security vulnerability diagnosis and establishing a self-diagnosis system work environment. Sparrow will carry out the project in a consortium with ITnomads, a security solution company.


Sparrow utilizes the source code diagnosis tool that holds the number one market share in the domestic secure coding market to visit companies requiring SW security vulnerability diagnosis and provide systematic security vulnerability diagnosis and consulting. Based on its experience in supporting electronic government SW security verification projects, Sparrow will establish a diagnostic environment considering business continuity. It plans to secure the SW security of private small and medium enterprises. By applying Sparrow’s unique development security diagnosis methodology specialized in cyber threats, it is expected to significantly improve the response capability to security vulnerabilities.


ITnomads will be responsible for building and operating a complex service space for SW development security based on its extensive experience in constructing multiple security centers. The location for providing the SW development security complex service will be selected after prior consultation with the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), considering accessibility for small and medium SW operators.


Jang Ilsu, CEO of Sparrow, said, “As digital transformation accelerates, cyber attacks are rapidly increasing, but small and medium enterprises face limitations in responding to cyber threats due to a lack of information security personnel.”



He added, “We will successfully carry out the project and become a reliable partner for small and medium SW operators, and also contribute to the safety of the private market’s SW.”
