[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sparrow announced on the 13th that it has registered 'Sparrow SCA v1.6,' an open-source management tool, on the Public Procurement Service Digital Service Mall.


Sparrow SCA v1.6 is the first open-source management tool registered on the Public Procurement Service Digital Service Mall.


Open source, which offers benefits such as reducing IT operating costs, is known to be used by 61.5% of domestic companies. Recently, the safe use of open source for supply chain security has emerged as an important domestic and international security issue. Sparrow registered Sparrow SCA on the Public Procurement Service Digital Service Mall to strengthen open-source security not only for domestic companies but also for government, local governments, and public institutions, enabling rapid response to open-source vulnerabilities.


Sparrow SCA is a tool that diagnoses open-source security vulnerabilities and identifies open-source licenses. It supports analysis of source code, binary files, as well as snippets that only take parts of open-source source code. Users can understand the status of open-source software licenses in use by utilizing the license information chart.


It also supports the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), mandated by the Biden administration's executive order to strengthen cybersecurity. By using the SBOM export function, software components can be quickly and easily identified.



To commemorate the registration with the Public Procurement Service, Sparrow will conduct a special year-end promotion targeting purchasing customers from domestic companies including public institutions.
