AppSec Intelligence Platform

StackHawk is reimagining AppSec for AI-driven development. Our AppSec Intelligence Platform combines attack surface discovery from source code with shift-left runtime testing and program-level oversight—so you know what you have, test what matters, and prove it’s working.

Scale Your AppSec Program for the Pace of AI

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

You can’t test what you don’t know exists. Automatically discover every app and API from source code tied to risk insights (sensitive data, rate of change) so you know exactly what to test.

Scale Security Without Scaling Headcount

Runtime testing that finds what matters—in pre-production environments or against production endpoints for validation and compliance. Surface authorization flaws, business logic flaws & LLM risks—not noise.

Drive Efficiency Across the Program

Focus resources where risk is highest with risk-based prioritization and program-level intelligence. Understand your application security posture and prove your program is working.

API Discovery

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

A dark-themed dashboard displays API discovery attack surface data, AppSec Risk Prioritization metrics, repository count, mapped attack surfaces, coverage percentage, a table of frameworks, sensitive data types, commit details, and more info options.

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.

A dark-themed dashboard lists software repositories, with columns for repository name, frameworks detected, API Attack Surface Discovery status, and last commit date. Each row highlights different frameworks and status tags for various services.

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

Runtime AppSec Testing That Finds What Matters

StackHawk is the only DAST solution purpose-built for modern development workflows, integrating directly into CI/CD pipelines and pull requests to find exploitable vulnerabilities earlier and faster.

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)
  • LLM security risks (prompt injection, sensitive data disclosure, improper output handling)

Exploitable Findings

Runtime testing cuts through the noise so your team doesn’t drown in false positives. StackHawk surfaces exploitable vulnerabilities that only surface in running applications that static tools miss.

Actionable Fixes

Findings that developers can actually implement. Each vulnerability includes code-level context and AI-powered remediation guidance so devs know exactly what to fix and how.

Workflow Integrations

Connects to the tools you already use. StackHawk integrates with your CI/CD, comms, and ticketing systems, and correlates DAST findings with SAST results to prioritize what’s most critical.

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.

Transform Security Visibility

Prioritize Applications Based on Risk

Most teams lack the context to prioritize 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 AppSec tools leave teams guessing—how much is covered, what’s exposed, and where the real business risk lives. StackHawk connects code-level visibility with runtime testing to give you the full picture from discovery to fixed.

 

Prove Program Effectiveness to Executives

Security teams report activity metrics but can’t demonstrate outcomes. StackHawk provides dashboards showing testing coverage, findings surfaced, and overall risk posture—proof your program is working, in language the board understands.
