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.
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.

TESTING
Shift-Left DAST Built for Modern Development
StackHawk is the only runtime application security testing solution purpose-built for modern development workflows. Unlike other 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:
Deterministic, Runtime Testing Embedded in Dev Workflows
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.
- Testing against live apps with real requests and response analysis
- Deterministic, reproducible testing with consistent results across scans
- Runs in CI/CD infrastructure, not just triggered by it, for seamless testing
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.
Prioritize Applications Based on Risk
Most teams test lack the risk-based understanding of their attack surface to test what actually matters. StackHawk analyzes which applications handle sensitive data, lack testing coverage, and have high commit activity so you focus limited resources where risk is highest.
Track the Complete Security Lifecycle
Traditional tools treat vulnerability management as disconnected activities—scanning here, ticketing there, fixing somewhere else. StackHawk unifies the lifecycle from discovery through remediation, showing which applications are tested, what vulnerabilities get fixed, and where risk is exposed.
Prove Program Effectiveness to Executives
Security teams report activity metrics like scans run and tickets filed, but can’t demonstrate outcomes. StackHawk provides dashboards showing testing coverage, findings surfaced, and overall risk posture—so you finally prove your program is working with data that matters to the board.
