I cannot think of anything I would add to StackHawk, with the possible exception of adding any additional code bases that might be out there. I am thinking about a situation where a company might be in mergers and acquisitions mode and they onboard a company that has developed an application in a code base that is not covered by StackHawk, which would introduce some inefficiency and possible compliance difficulties. It would be great if StackHawk were continuously adding more and more languages and integrations. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate StackHawk an eight, only because I wish the product was a little less expensive. It also is running into direct competition with Snyk, as they did an acquisition of another DAST company, and they should be sensitive to that and possibly offer a discount for current users because it would be under consideration to move to Snyk and reduce complexity even if it was by a little bit.

Dynamic Application Security Testing is a critical tool for identifying vulnerabilities in running applications. It simulates attacks to detect potential security issues that could be exploited in production environments.DAST analyzes web applications during runtime, actively identifying security weaknesses through simulated attacks without needing access to source code. Leveraging real-time interaction with applications, it offers insights into their behavior and security posture. This...
