Developer-Centric Application Security Testing from StackHawk Now in GA

StackHawk has officially launched into general availability as a dynamic application security testing tool designed for modern software development. Built on the open-source ZAP project, StackHawk aims to address the gap in developer-centric application security tools by enabling developers to find and fix security bugs with pipeline automation, effectively preventing issues before they reach production. The platform integrates with existing engineering tools, such as CI/CD systems, Slack, and JIRA, and is tailored for microservices architectures and contemporary technologies like GraphQL and single-page applications. Committed to open-source collaboration, StackHawk recently hired ZAP's founder, Simon Bennetts, to further enhance the project. The company's future roadmap focuses on enhancing developer experience and fortifying the connection between security teams and engineering organizations while maintaining principles of transparency, observability, and collaboration. The launch is supported by various investors and early access customers, whose feedback has been crucial in shaping the product.
