About

StackHawk is a dynamic application security testing platform built specifically for developer teams, designed to run DAST scans automatically within CI/CD pipelines so that exploitable vulnerabilities in running applications are caught before code reaches production rather than discovered later through manual penetration testing or bug bounty reports. Traditional DAST tools were built for security professionals running quarterly manual assessments against production systems — StackHawk repackages DAST as a developer workflow that runs on every build, finding the same class of runtime vulnerabilities that pen testers find but continuously rather than periodically. The platform tests running application instances for SQL injection, cross-site scripting, authentication flaws, API security issues, and other vulnerability classes that can only be detected by actually sending attack payloads to a live application.
