StackHawk Overview

What is StackHawk?

StackHawk is a comprehensive API security solution designed to help developer & security teams identify and remediate security vulnerabilities within their code. By integrating seamlessly into the development workflow, StackHawk empowers teams to proactively address application security issues before they reach production, ensuring a more secure software delivery process. StackHawk caters to organizations that prioritize security in their applications but may lack the resources or expertise to conduct extensive security audits. The platform is particularly beneficial for DevOps teams, security engineers, and developers who are looking to incorporate security testing into their continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. With StackHawk, users can scan their applications for security bugs, triage findings, and implement fixes efficiently, all while maintaining their development velocity. One of the key features of StackHawk is its ability to scan applications for a wide range of application security vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common threats. The platform generates detailed reports that outline the vulnerabilities found, along with actionable documentation that guides developers through the remediation process. This feature not only helps in identifying issues but also educates developers on best practices for secure coding, fostering a culture of security awareness within the team. Additionally, StackHawk offers automation capabilities that allow users to integrate security scanning directly into their CI/CD pipelines. This means that security checks can be performed automatically during the development process, reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities making it to production. By automating these scans, teams can save time and resources while ensuring that security remains a top priority throughout the software development lifecycle. Ultimately, StackHawk stands out in the API security category by providing a developer-friendly approach to security testing. Its focus on integration, ease of use, and actionable insights makes it a valuable tool for organizations looking to enhance their security posture without sacrificing development speed. By enabling teams to find and fix security bugs early in the development process, StackHawk helps organizations build more secure applications and reduce the risk of costly security breaches.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

We've had nothing but a great experience working with the StackHawk team and their security automation tool. Our team operates in a continuous delivery environment, with several concurrent branches and environments at any given time. We release code several times per day, and StackHawk is able to provide us real-time scans of all of our branches, environments, and production deploys without any additional developer effort beyond initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

We had some initial issues with getting the scans to work with our GraphQL endpoints, but we were able to work closely with the StackHawk team, and this has since become a non-issue. I'm not aware of many other dynamic security testing providers that have such robust GraphQL support. Kudos to the StackHawk team for leaning in and delivering an excellent solution for GraphQL security testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StackHawk:

Setup a shared Slack channel, and you will receive answers to your questions blazingly fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

Incredibly easy to integrate into our CI/CD pipeline using their provided Docker image and detailed guides.

It produces detailed yet easy-to-read reports that are suitable for sharing with stakeholders. StackHawk has helped increase stakeholder confidence in platform security.

It has helped us make automated security testing one of the first things we do when spinning up a new project. StackHawk has helped us stay on top of issues early in the development process.

The team is incredibly supportive and helpful if you run into any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

I wish there was a more automated flow for retrieving oauth credentials for your api/site when running tests, it is a bit manual at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StackHawk solving and how is that benefiting you?

StackHawk allows us to continuously test our code as part of our CI/CD workflow. Whenever a developer pushes up code, StackHawk runs against it and sends a report of any security issues it found.

As an engineering lead, I can share the reports with other stakeholders, executives, and board members to communicate that we are identifying security issues proactively and addressing them before they become a problem. StackHawk has increased the confidence of everyone in our security practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

In matters of minutes, one can set up and run a full scan against a web application. The intuitive and well-documented steps about how to integrate Stackhawk into the development lifecycle(build workflows, notifications) enabled us to get straight to what matters, which is the scan results.

Stackhawk's support was really helpful when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

Some dashboard items could be improved, such as an option to export scan results to pdf and/or other formats; the scan page could be a bit less populated.

Also, a pay per scan plan would be well appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StackHawk:

Stackhawk tool is easy to use, can be easily integrated into the development lifecycle, and can enable teams to have better visibility over possible security issues in their web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StackHawk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to make sure that the applications we make available to our customers comply with the most common web application security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

- StackHawk is easy to take in to use

- Built on the ZAP scanner, and they support its development as well

- You can run it in different environments with Docker

- Produces clear reports on the findings, and you can manage them with the UI so that false positives don't show up on every scan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

I don't have anything to complain about. Their support solved all the problems we had during the onboarding process. Maybe it would be beneficial to have an even more detailed log on the scanner's action to debug issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StackHawk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to catch security problems automatically during the development process and use the results it generates when we plan for security audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
