As organizations grow and their application portfolios expand, keeping track of security testing can become a daunting task. StackHawk’s mission is to empower teams to take control of their application security with tools that scale alongside them. With the launch of our new Oversight feature, we're making it easier for teams to manage their application security at scale, providing a streamlined view of their applications and security status across environments. Now live and ready for use, Oversight delivers a comprehensive, top-level view to help teams stay ahead of potential risks and maintain a strong security posture.
A New View for a Growing List of Applications
In the past, StackHawk’s Applications list worked well for smaller teams but became unwieldy for larger organizations managing multiple teams and hundreds of applications. The new tabular view is designed with scalability in mind, allowing users to see all their applications at a glance. With improved filtering, sorting, and search capabilities, security teams can now quickly drill into specific applications or environments to monitor their security status.
Here’s what the new Applications List delivers:
Tabular Display: This clean, detailed list of all your applications includes key metrics such as the last scan date, findings from the last scan, and scan duration. These columns can be sorted to help you identify trends, like the applications with the most critical findings or those with longer scan times.
Recent Commits: By integrating with GitHub, the Applications List also displays recent commits, giving teams insight into how actively the codebase is changing. This helps teams determine whether their scan frequency is keeping up with code updates.
Filters and Search: With the expanded filtering options, users can filter applications by teams, environments, or other custom facets. The search bar allows for quick access to specific applications, and a clear indicator shows when filters are active to ensure you're always aware of the view you’re seeing.
Oversight: A Proactive Approach to Security
On top of the new Applications List, StackHawk is introducing Oversight, a feature designed to provide teams with a top-level view of their application security program. Oversight aggregates key security data across all applications, making it easier to see the big picture.
Here’s how Oversight supports security teams:
Scan Frequency Monitoring: Oversight flags applications that haven’t been scanned in the last 30 days, ensuring that security teams are always aware of gaps in coverage. The visual dashboard helps identify applications where scan activity may be slipping, so nothing gets missed.
Total Findings Overview: The oversight panel highlights **outstanding findings** across all applications. This makes it easy for teams to prioritize remediation efforts and track which applications are most vulnerable.
Attack Surface Insights: For organizations leveraging StackHawk’s API Discovery feature, Oversight provides a view of the attack surface coverage, helping teams ensure they’re testing all critical areas of their applications, including APIs.
Enhancing Collaboration and Flexibility
The new Oversight feature is designed to fit seamlessly into your organization’s workflow, offering flexibility and customization options. Based on feedback from our customers, we’ve built the following capabilities:
Environment-Specific Insights: See scan results and findings for each environment (e.g., development, QA, production) to better track the security status across your application lifecycle.
Contextual Filters: Filter your applications by teams, environments, or other attributes, so you can focus on the parts of your organization that need the most attention.
What’s Next?
We're excited to announce that Oversight is now live and available to all StackHawk customers.
