Optimizing Security Scan for Speed and Accuracy

StackHawk has introduced a new Optimization Tips Panel aimed at enhancing the speed and accuracy of Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scans, crucial for shifting security testing left in the development lifecycle. The panel highlights the enablement status of key features such as Custom Scan Discovery, Technology Flags, and authentication for each scan, ensuring users do not miss critical configurations. These features allow users to better define scan scope, tailor scans to specific technologies, and address authenticated routes, ultimately leading to more comprehensive and accurate vulnerability detection. The panel is available for Pro and Enterprise plan customers, with StackHawk encouraging collaboration among development teams to fine-tune configurations for optimal performance. The company remains committed to continuous improvement through customer feedback and offers resources like webinars and blogs to guide users in best practices.
