Labrador Labs participated in ‘OWASP 2025 Global AppSec USA’ held in Washington D.C., USA in early November. This event is one of the largest gatherings where application security experts from around the world come together.
Hundreds of security officers, developers, and CISOs gathered to discuss hot issues ranging from web and app security to software supply chain security and AI security.
Labrador Labs set up a booth to check if the technology and experience accumulated so far work in any market in the world, and to hear directly from the field what US customers need most right now.
The most frequently mentioned keyword was ‘supply chain security’
“Global software supply chain incidents have been surging recently. We have a lot of concerns about how to safely protect the supply chain.”
As attacks originating from libraries, open source, and third-party components continue to erupt worldwide,
US companies have completely settled into the atmosphere that “now we really need to fix our build and deployment pipelines, SBOM, licenses, and vulnerability management.”
Visitors to the Labrador Labs booth empathized with the fact that it’s not just about ‘scanning’ vulnerabilities, but about solutions centered on the software supply chain.
Labrador Labs exhibited not only SCA but also the SBOM Exchange solution, which allows companies to easily and conveniently exchange Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
Labrador Labs has automated the entire process of SBOM generation, sending, receiving, mutual verification, modification, and supplementation for all companies involved in SW supply chains with ‘Labrador SCM’.
Customers experienced a demo where they just upload product-specific SBOMs to Labrador SCM and share them, and the latest SBOM is automatically delivered to partners.
Impressed by customer-tailored delivery methods!
Labrador Labs put a lot of thought into how customers can use solutions most conveniently and safely. The result is providing both on-premise and SaaS simultaneously.
● On-Premise: A method of installing and using directly on the customer’s company server. Companies where security is extremely important want to manage data directly without leaving it outside.
● SaaS (Software as a Service): A method of accessing and using anytime, anywhere with just an internet connection. It has the advantage of being easy to manage and quick to use.
Many manufacturing company representatives who participated in this event responded that it was really impressive that Labrador Labs provides both on-premise and SaaS forms at the same time. It was a moment when our efforts to broaden customers’ choices according to their environment and needs shone!
Whether in the US or Korea, industries with strong regulations still prefer on-premise, and startups or SaaS companies look for cloud types that can be introduced quickly.
“If it’s a strongly regulated environment, go with on-premise; if speed is important, go with SaaS. You can choose according to the situation. And hybrid mixing both is also possible.”
Customers who visited Labrador Labs at this event showed deep interest in this hybrid solution.
Targeting the largest market, the US, ‘directly’
Along with participating in this event, Labrador Labs secured key routes for entering the US public market. We have completed registration as an official vendor with two US Department of Defense marketplaces and Carahsoft.
We registered solutions on ‘Tradewinds’ and ‘Platform One’, the main marketplaces of the US Department of Defense.
● Tradewinds: DoD new technology introduction platform centered on AI/ML and data analysis
● Platform One: Security-centered DevSecOps and strategic SW service platform
This registration is the official recognition that Labrador Labs solutions meet the strict security, technology, and quality standards required by the US Department of Defense. Through this, we have secured the foundation to directly participate in US DoD subordinate projects in various areas such as SBOM generation, vulnerability detection, license compliance, and large-scale automated supply chain management.
In addition, Labrador Labs has been registered as an official vendor of Carahsoft, a US government IT solution specialist company. Carahsoft is an important partner that signs contracts worth billions of dollars with key public institutions in the North American region, including the US federal government and Department of Defense.
Labrador Labs is doing its best to become a key partner in protecting the safety of global software supply chains.
We ask for a lot of support for Labrador Labs’ vigorous steps extending from the Republic of Korea to the world!
