StackHawk Description

Application Security/Attack Surface/Vulnerability Management

StackHawk provides an API security testing platform designed for modern software development teams. The company focuses on integrating security testing directly into the developer workflow, enabling developers to identify and fix security issues in real-time during the development process rather than relying on periodic security assessments. The platform offers dynamic application security testing (DAST) capabilities that can be embedded into CI/CD pipelines, allowing security scans to run automatically as part of the software development lifecycle. StackHawk's approach emphasizes developer-friendly tooling that fits into existing development workflows without disrupting velocity or innovation. The company recently added Business Logic Testing (BLT) capabilities to its platform, expanding beyond traditional vulnerability detection. StackHawk also addresses API discovery and monitoring challenges, positioning API discovery at the source code level to provide application security teams with comprehensive visibility into their API attack surface. StackHawk targets development teams and application security professionals who need to secure APIs and web applications in fast-paced, agile development environments. The platform is built to handle the accelerated pace of modern software development, including AI-assisted development workflows where APIs are being created at significantly faster rates. The company was founded by security and DevOps professionals with the goal of creating a more agile, developer-centric approach to application security testing.
