Maybe you have done some online searches and discovered our website. Maybe you are on the hunt for a DAST tool and have heard of StackHawk before. Regardless of your familiarity, here is a specific look into what StackHawk is.
What StackHawk Does
In short, StackHawk is a Dynamic Application Security Testing, or DAST tool.
DAST gives security and development teams the ability to test their application for vulnerabilities in a live environment. StackHawk is specifically focused on pre-production testing of APIs and web applications.
But it goes much further than just that. StackHawk empowers teams to deliver more secure software faster by bridging the gap between AppSec and Development teams.
Find
By implementing HawkScan in your development process, you can discover security bugs much earlier and avoid last-minute disruptions to your deadlines and schedules. StackHawk makes it seamless to integrate into your existing workflows and toolsets.
Triage
StackHawk helps you identify high-priority issues prior to production releases. Giving developers the power to triage, identify, and investigate these issues much earlier. Leveraging our integrations makes it even easier to ensure collaboration and accountability are at the forefront of exploring vulnerabilities.
Fix
When StackHawk identifies security bugs early in your pipeline, you are given the opportunity to fix them before they end up becoming large-scale or last-minute issues. Ultimately resulting in a faster, more secure delivery of software.
What StackHawk Does Not Do
As you delve into the realm of StackHawk, it's important to highlight not just the impressive feats the tool can accomplish but also the lanes it doesn't navigate. Let's get down to the specifics and talk about the things StackHawk chooses not to handle.
Anti Virus/Spyware
At StackHawk, our core mission is to uncover security vulnerabilities within web applications. It's crucial to emphasize that although we excel at helping enhance the security posture of your applications, we are not an anti-virus platform and do not possess the necessary tools to address spyware issues.
Mobile App and Device Security
When you come across StackHawk in the realm of application security, it's natural to think mobile, right? Well, not quite. Our platform is tailor-made for developers and security teams on a mission to fortify their web-based applications against security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, we can't give your personal device or mobile apps a security check.
