The Challenge

Your AppSec Testing Stack
Has a Blind Spot

Static analysis, production testing, and legacy DAST all share the same flaw: they can’t prove what’s actually exploitable before code ships. StackHawk can.

SAST Scans for Patterns, Not Exploits

Static analysis is valuable early, but on its own it can’t confirm real-world exploitability. Many critical vulnerabilities only surface when code is actually running.

Production-Only Testing Is Always Behind

Scheduled production scans aren’t enough when teams deploy multiple times per day. Feedback arrives too late to act on.

Legacy DAST Wasn’t Built for Modern Risks

APIs, microservices, complex auth flows, and LLM integrations demand runtime testing that understands how modern applications behave.

How it Works

Runtime Testing That
Closes the Gap

A screenshot of a code scanning tool shows HawkScan Completed with 7 findings. With Runtime Vulnerability Detection, it highlights 1 high, 3 medium, and 3 low issues. Scan metadata lists duration (1 min 2 sec), date (May 23, 2025), and scanned paths (34).

Runtime Testing That Actually Runs in CI/CD

  • ï…ŠRuns inside your CI/CD pipeline—not just triggered by it—finishing in minutes
  • ï…ŠTests against running applications using real requests and response analysis
  • ï…ŠProduces deterministic, reproducible results you can trust across every scan
  • ï…ŠConfiguration-as-code ensures consistency and coverage across scans

Purpose-Built for Modern Application Stacks

  • ï…ŠNative support for REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and WebSocket endpoints
  • ï…ŠCorrelates DAST results with SAST findings for unified context
  • ï…ŠTests authorization flaws and business logic vulnerabilities that static tools miss
  • ï…ŠBuilt-in LLM security testing for prompt injection and other AI risks

Developer-First Remediation and Validation

  • ï…ŠResults delivered where developers work—PRs, Slack, and Jira—not buried in PDFs
  • ï…ŠAI-generated remediation guidance shows exactly how to fix, not just what's broken
  • ï…ŠQuickly re-test to validate only what failed—no full re-runs required
  • ï…ŠShip with confidence knowing vulnerabilities are fixed, not just ticketed

Fix Critical App Risks Before They Reach Production

Modern applications require modern security. StackHawk is built to find the risks that cause breaches in the AI era.

API Vulnerabilities

Injection attacks, broken authentication, and data exposure—validated at runtime, not guessed from code.

Business Logic Flaws

Authorization bypasses and privilege escalation that only appear when the application is actually running.
