Sparrow, Blackhat Participation... Accelerating Overseas Market Expansion

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow participated in the information security event ‘Black Hat USA 2022’ and unveiled its application security testing solution along with its product strategy.

Black Hat was held in Las Vegas, USA, from the 6th to the 11th. Approximately 20,000 participants worldwide, including CISOs and CTOs, shared research results on security vulnerabilities and the latest trends.

Sparrow has participated annually since 2018. This year, it presented a strategy to strengthen application security through the implementation of DevSecOps at an offline solo booth.

Sparrow introduced four software security and quality management solutions to prevent software supply chain attacks. It explained the technologies used in open source management (SCA), secure coding (SAST), code quality analysis (SAQT), and web vulnerability analysis (DAST) solutions and conducted live demonstrations.

Sparrow introduced ‘Sparrow Cloud,’ a cloud service that inspects security vulnerabilities in source code and web applications, and revealed its future product strategy for the first time. Following the discovery of the Log4j vulnerability, which highlighted the importance of open source management, Sparrow plans to add open source license identification and security vulnerability diagnosis functions to Sparrow Cloud by early next year.

Sparrow CEO Jang Ilsu said, "Interest in managing security vulnerabilities in open source is growing worldwide, including the inclusion of SBOM in the US cybersecurity executive order." He added, "Sparrow Cloud, which will also add open source management functions, will be easily and conveniently accessible overseas through the AWS Marketplace."
