On the Radar: StackHawk provides
DAST & API Security Testing for
AppSec and Engineering Teams
Bridging the gap between AppSec and engineering teams is an essential requirement of the “shift left” movement. Some argue, however, that shifting left places too much onus on developer teams rather than dedicated security professionals.
In Omdia’s recent On the Radar report, analyst Rik Turner, Senior Principal Analyst, Cybersecurity, showcases how StackHawk is appealing to developers as a departure from traditional dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools by “giving dev teams responsible for writing and deploying code a way to include security testing as part of their standard testing workflows”.
Read on to see how Turner highlights the overall market context, citing StackHawk as an “interesting alternative to most other DAST tools.”
