StackHawk + GitHub: Dev-First Security Testing Across the GitHub Universe

StackHawk and GitHub have partnered to enhance the security testing process by integrating StackHawk's dynamic application and API security testing capabilities with GitHub's collaborative platform, promoting a developer-first approach. This integration prioritizes developers' needs by providing easy integration, user-friendly interfaces, low false positives, automation, and customization, allowing security testing to blend seamlessly into existing workflows. Key features include GitHub Insights for comprehensive attack surface visibility, GitHub Actions for automated security testing in CI/CD pipelines, Pull Request Checks for immediate feedback on security vulnerabilities, and CodeQL for precise identification of exploitable vulnerabilities. These tools collectively enable developers to proactively address security issues, thereby reducing the risk of production bugs and streamlining the security feedback loop, ultimately fostering a more collaborative and efficient development environment.
