Sparrow Hosts 'Application Security Summit 2025'

Sparrow announced that it held the 'Application Security Summit 2025' on the morning of the 29th and presented a software supply chain security strategy. 
The Application Security Summit is an annual CIO·CISO breakfast seminar hosted by Sparrow, held at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul in Yeouido. This event, attended by 30 C-level executives from various industries such as finance, distribution, and manufacturing, was organized under the theme 'Trust and Safety of Software in the Era of Supply Chain Security' to present comprehensive strategies for responding to software supply chain attacks and managing supply chain threats using the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
Jang Ilsu Sparrow CEO, who took the stage as the keynote speaker, introduced strategies for establishing an application security vulnerability inspection system to prepare for increasing software supply chain attacks through his presentation 'A New Paradigm of Software Supply Chain Security'. CEO Jang emphasized the need for all stakeholders to respond actively and immediately to diverse cyberattacks, highlighting the enhancement of supply chain security centered on SBOM.
The method of securing software supply chain reliability using an SBOM distribution platform also attracted much interest from attendees. Sparrow explained that by adding a digital signature before the developer delivers the SBOM to the demand side, it can be proven that it has not been tampered with, and mutual trust can be secured through a review process with the demand side. It was also emphasized that by registering the SBOM in the security repository provided by the platform and exchanging it through role-based access control, safe sharing is possible.
CEO Jang stated, "Through this seminar, we were able to deeply share the trends and practical response measures of software supply chain security with information security officers from each industry," and added, "Based on major business experiences such as the government's 'Software Supply Chain Security Demonstration Project', Sparrow will take the lead in building a software supply chain security system optimized for the domestic corporate environment to contribute to creating a reliable digital ecosystem."
