StackHawk + Endor Labs: Correlating and Prioritizing SAST and DAST Findings
Blog post from StackHawk
Static and dynamic application security testing (SAST and DAST) are essential for maintaining application security, with SAST identifying vulnerabilities in code before deployment and DAST validating exploitable vulnerabilities in running applications. However, when these tools function independently, they create inefficiencies, such as duplicate alerts and a lack of context for developers, complicating prioritization and remediation efforts. To address this, the integration of Endor Labs' AI-Native SAST with StackHawk's DAST offers a solution by correlating static and dynamic findings, thus eliminating duplicate alerts and prioritizing vulnerabilities based on validated exploitability. This collaboration provides developers with consolidated alerts that include detailed context, such as code location and runtime exploitability, enabling them to focus on critical issues. As the pace of development increases and AI-generated code expands potential attack surfaces, this integration enhances security efforts by automating correlation and prioritization, reducing noise, and accelerating the remediation process.
