StackHawk Announces $100,000 Fund Dedicated to Improving ZAP and the ZAP Community

StackHawk has announced the creation of a $100,000 fund to support the ZAP community and its contributions, as revealed by CEO Joni Klippert during her keynote at ZAPCon 2022. The ZAP Fund aims to enhance the ZAP platform and its community, with part of the funds allocated for a bounty program to resolve open ZAP issues. StackHawk has a strong relationship with ZAP, with its creator Simon Bennetts joining StackHawk as a distinguished engineer, and the company serving as the presenting partner for ZAPCon while contributing technically to improve ZAP for modern developers. StackHawk, known for integrating application security testing into software delivery, empowers engineers to identify and fix security bugs at any stage of development, supported by a team experienced in security and DevOps. ZAP, an open-source web app scanner, is widely used by developers globally and is maintained by a team of international volunteers, having been established as an OWASP flagship project since 2014.
