Shift-left security has transformed our DAST workflows and now improves early vulnerability detection
I believe a learning path should be added to help users maximize the potential of StackHawk. While the tool is powerful and intuitive, a structured learning path will provide step-by-step guidance on configuring scans, interpreting results, and implementing security best practices. StackHawk needs more reporting capabilities and more dashboard views to showcase the progress of vulnerabilities remediation. Additionally, some customization of scan policies will be neat, as the current way to apply policies for scans is very manual. StackHawk is a strong solution, but improved reporting, easier integration, and more AI-driven recommendations would make it even more effective. Overall, I am highly satisfied with its capabilities and continued improvement.
