Huawei Success Story - Scantist
Scantist currently has more than 60 employees across Singapore, Mumbai, Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an. Scantist harnessed the research achievements of the Cyber Security Lab at NTU to develop a series of product chains and DevSecOps tools, including SCA, DAST, SAST, SmartFuzzer, and OSSPERT.
Scantist's story
Scantist was founded in 2016 as a spin-off of the world-leading Cyber Security Lab at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Scantist is the recipient of 2018 NRF National Cybersecurity Research Grant as well as the 2020 CSA Innovation Award and won at Huawei’s Spark Ignite competition program launched in 2021.
Why HUAWEI CLOUD?
Challenges
Scantist focuses on security scanning products and is exploring security products for the open source libraries of the developer community. The challenges they are facing:
1) Complex system setup and permission control: The existing system is running on a bare metal server in the customer's office. Permission controls were not sufficiently refined. As a result, it was hard to trace malicious file uploaders during intrusions, and it was time- and labor-consuming to clean up all affected files after intrusions.
2) Slow upgrade package delivery: Scantist needs to provide upgrade packages every month. It takes more than ten hours to upload and download upgrade packages, as they have clients in China, and the uploading process is challenged by the Great Firewall (GFW).
3) The limited impact of Scantist in the developer community is hindering its business growth. As a result, the company needs to increase its impact through the Huawei Cloud Spark Program.
