StackHawk Announces HawkScan Test Engine

HawkScan 4.0 marks the completion of StackHawk's transition to the HawkScan Test Engine (HSTE), enhancing their Dynamic Application Security Testing capabilities by incorporating extensive improvements and faster updates tailored to user needs. The decision to fork ZAP was made to create an agile development process that could keep up with the rapid innovation required by StackHawk’s users, particularly in API Security Testing. This internal fork allows StackHawk to modify and enhance ZAP’s internals, facilitating the development and support of new features and accelerating the delivery of essential enhancements for their customers. Despite the fork, StackHawk maintains a commitment to contributing to the open-source community.
