StackHawk, Inc. Review

Depends

Should I use StackHawk, Inc.?

Secure AI-generated code before it ships. StackHawk enables coding agents to find, fix, and verify exploitable vulnerabilities automatically. - stackhawk.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if your team ships live web apps or APIs — especially AI-generated code — and wants DAST wired into CI/CD. Skip it if you need only static code scanning or have no deployed app to test.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; pricing partly from third-party listings, not vendor-confirmed.

Best for

  • Teams shipping AI-generated code
  • CI/CD-native DAST adopters
  • API-heavy product teams
  • Startups without dedicated AppSec staff

Not for

  • Teams needing only SAST/SCA static code scanning
  • Projects with no running app or API to scan
  • Security teams wanting enterprise GRC-style reporting suites
  • Hobby projects — free OWASP ZAP covers basics

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pro listed at ~$42/mo on third-party sites; confirm current pricing and scan limits.

medium

Pricing page shows two plans; likely a sales-gated enterprise tier — negotiate app/scan limits.

medium

Guess: DAST needs reachable running environments; auth and scan config are the usual friction.

low

Small review base (68 G2 reviews) — trial before committing.

Well-liked dev-first DAST (4.6/5 G2) for scanning live apps and APIs, incl. AI-generated code. Wrong for static-only needs.
