StackHawk + Cycode: Runtime Testing Meets Security Posture Management
Blog post from StackHawk
In the evolving landscape of modern software development, the partnership between StackHawk and Cycode aims to elevate application security programs by integrating comprehensive security testing with centralized visibility and remediation capabilities. StackHawk's Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is designed to identify and fix exploitable vulnerabilities in pre-production, seamlessly integrating with developers' tools to deliver contextual fixes without hindering development speed. However, runtime findings often remain isolated, creating challenges in tracking vulnerabilities back to their source and prioritizing them amidst other security risks within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The collaboration with Cycode enhances this process by automatically ingesting StackHawk findings into its Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform, correlating them with SDLC metadata to enrich findings with context, and orchestrating remediation workflows. This integration offers complete traceability from runtime findings to the exact source code and developer responsible, unified visibility across security findings, and automated workflows to streamline the remediation process, ultimately enabling AppSec teams to address critical vulnerabilities with a risk-based prioritization approach.
