Stop Guessing. Start Prioritizing. Sensitive Data Identification Now in Beta

StackHawk's new Sensitive Data Identification feature, currently in beta, is designed to enhance API Discovery by helping teams identify and prioritize the APIs that most critically handle sensitive data, such as PII, PCI, or HIPAA-related information. This capability addresses the challenge of deciding where to begin security testing in complex environments with numerous services and APIs, by analyzing codebases for sensitive data references and integrating this context into the Attack Surface view. By doing so, it eliminates the reliance on guesswork or manual tagging, offering clear, actionable insights that enable teams to prioritize testing based on data sensitivity, reduce manual effort, accelerate security onboarding, and support compliance efforts. Early adopters have reported significant improvements, such as a 55% increase in applications under test, as it provides a strategic advantage for modern teams dealing with API sprawl, ensuring they focus on testing the right things.
