StackHawk

AppSec Intelligence Platform

StackHawk is your AppSec companion, defining your whole API attack surface right from source code and combining it with dynamic runtime testing for complete code-to-runtime application oversight.

Scale Your AppSec Program for the Pace of AI

Understand, manage, and scale your application security program with AI-driven insights and intelligence.

Eliminate Application & Risk Blind Spots

Automatically map your entire attack surface—apps, APIs, and AI systems—so you know exactly what you’re protecting and can prioritize risk-driven testing.

Scale Security Without Scaling Headcount

AI-enhanced shift-left DAST plugs directly into CI/CD, finding the vulnerabilities that matter most—authorization flaws, logic issues, data exposure—before production, cutting remediation costs by up to 70%.

Drive Efficiency Across the Program

AI-driven analytics and automated workflows streamline prioritization, remediation, and oversight—ensuring limited security resources are applied where they matter most.

DISCOVERY

Complete Attack Surface Visibility

Get the context you need to make risk-based decisions about what to test, ensuring limited resources focus on protecting what matters most.

Repo Insights
OpenAPI Spec Generation

API Discovery

StackHawk integrates with your source code repositories to map all your apps and APIs, giving you complete visibility across your attack surface.

Repo Insights

To help prioritize which apps and APIs to test, StackHawk automatically identifies where sensitive data lives, languages and frameworks in use, and commit activity.

OpenAPI Spec Generation

StackHawk automatically creates API specifications from source code, giving AppSec teams instantly testable assets without relying on devs to manually create specs.

TESTING

Shift-Left DAST Built for Modern Development

StackHawk is the only runtime application security testing solution purpose-built for modern development workflows. Unlike legacy DAST tools that test after deployment, StackHawk integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and pull requests to find critical vulnerabilities before they reach production.

How We Test:

StackHawk works where and how you work—from testing locally to reviewing PRs and breaking builds. Security testing becomes part of software testing, not a separate gate.

  • Configure as code for version-controlled security policies
  • Run in any CI/CD—Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, and more
  • Test any API—REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or custom protocols
  • Run in the CLI for local testing and rapid iteration

What We Test:

Test Modern App Architectures for Modern Risks

Purpose-built for APIs, microservices, and complex app ecosystems. Catches authorization flaws, logic issues, and data exposure that static tools miss.

  • Authorization and authentication flaws (BOLA, BFLA, broken access control)
  • Business logic vulnerabilities
  • API-specific risks (mass assignment, excessive data exposure)
  • Injection attacks (SQL, NoSQL, command injection)

Find What Matters

Iterative testing with Hawkscan Rescan validates only what failed, so you’re not re-running everything. See DAST results correlated with Snyk Code or GitHub CodeQL SAST findings to immediately know the most critical vulnerabilities and where they are in your code.

Fix With Confidence

Developers get prioritized findings with detailed context—right in their PRs, Slack, or Jira. AI-generated remediation guidance shows exactly how to fix issues, not just what’s broken.

Validate and Move Fast

Test locally, validate fixes with cURL generators for fast debugging, then push with confidence. Fixing bugs in pre-production costs 50% less than in production—and keeps security from blocking releases.

OVERSIGHT

Continuous Program Intelligence

Get a complete picture of risk across your applications and understand the efficacy of your AppSec program—what’s tested, how often, and what needs attention. Security teams gain instant insights to prioritize resources, train teams effectively, and show real security progress to executives with metrics that matter.
