Welcome to the Nest
We’re building the API security tool for for modern software teams.
We built StackHawk out of a need for a more agile, developer-friendly approach to software security. Recognizing that traditional, periodic security checks were falling short in a world of rapid software updates, we aimed to integrate security seamlessly into the daily workflow of developers. Our goal was to empower developers to identify and fix security issues in real-time, ensuring robust, secure software without compromising on speed or innovation.
Our Values
At StackHawk, we embrace innovation, resilience, and a sense of humor in everything we do. We thrive on collaboration, face challenges head-on, and believe that a little fun goes a long way in building strong teams and secure software.
Fabulously Fearless
We aren’t afraid to think big and be wrong. When we disagree, we respectfully work through problems, commit to decisions and move forward together. When we say we’re going to do something, we do it.
Fanatical Fascination
We are curious about problems our customers are trying to solve with empathy toward those that build software. We are genuinely interested in their success.
F*CK FUD
We don’t do FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt). We build trust, confidence, and value into everything we do.
Funny with Fortitude
We aren’t afraid to solve hard problems. There’s not always an easy path to resolution, but we collaborate, support one another and find a way to have fun along the way.
Feathers, Better together
We are a flock of different birds, each with our own unique feathers. We embrace our differences and use it as an advantage.Meet the Hawks
With decades of combined experience in security and DevOps, our team knows what it takes to build great dev tools.
