Re-Defining API Discovery: How We Designed API Discovery Powered by HawkAI

StackHawk addresses the challenges of API security testing in the fast-paced software development environment with its API Discovery Powered by HawkAI, which helps security teams identify and manage their complete attack surface. Many teams struggle to test all APIs due to the complexity and rapid changes in software, often leaving parts of their attack surface unexamined. HawkAI integrates with code repositories to use AI algorithms for identifying running applications and APIs, providing a comprehensive view of potential vulnerabilities. It continuously monitors code deployments against testing frequencies to ensure alignment with security policies and supports teams in refining their security programs. HawkAI maintains a transparent and secure approach, ensuring read-only access to code and providing clear AI involvement indicators. By fostering communication between security and development teams, HawkAI enhances collaboration and efficiency, ultimately empowering teams to deliver secure, high-quality software.
