StackHawk Integration with DefectDojo
StackHawk is a modern dynamic application security testing (DAST) platform that integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines to test running applications and APIs for security vulnerabilities including authorization flaws, business logic issues, and data exposure by simulating real attack scenarios against pre-production environments. The developer-first platform provides API discovery to reveal shadow APIs and complete attack surfaces, AI-powered remediation guidance delivered directly in pull requests and developer workflows, and comprehensive vulnerability detection with correlation to SAST findings from tools like Snyk Code and GitHub CodeQL, enabling teams to find and fix critical security issues before production deployment at up to 70% lower cost than post-production remediation.

| Severity | Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info | Mapped from the tool's own severity scale |
| Description | Finding detail from the report | Includes what the issue is and why it matters |
| Mitigation | Remediation guidance | Where the tool provides it |
