StackHawk + Cycode: Runtime Testing Meets Security Posture Management

To keep up with the demands of modern software development, AppSec programs need two things working together: comprehensive security testing that finds critical vulnerabilities and centralized visibility to prioritize and remediate them effectively.

That’s exactly what the StackHawk + Cycode partnership delivers: runtime testing findings fed directly into comprehensive application security posture management (ASPM) to close the gap between code and runtime.

AppSec Is More Than Just Testing

StackHawk’s DAST is incredibly powerful for teams looking to find and fix exploitable vulnerabilities pre-production—without slowing down development. Our testing catches discoverable and exploitable vulnerabilities directly in developers’ tools, delivering fixes to them in context. This is crucial as application attack surfaces expand, but testing is only half the equation.

The challenge: Runtime findings often exist in isolation—disconnected from the code that introduced them and from the broader landscape of security risks across your SDLC. You discover an exploitable API vulnerability in staging, but then face days of manual work: tracking down which repository and developer introduced it, understanding how it relates to other findings from SAST or SCA tools, and determining its priority against everything else competing for attention.

For AppSec teams operating multiple tools beyond DAST (SAST, SCA, IaC scanning, secrets detection, container security), this creates blind spots and friction. Findings pile up across disconnected tools. Remediation slows to a crawl because context is missing. And proving program effectiveness becomes nearly impossible when you can’t see the complete picture.

That’s where ASPM comes in—and why our partnership with Cycode matters.

StackHawk + Cycode: Closing the Loop

StackHawk runs DAST in CI/CD pipelines, testing applications before they ship. Fast, accurate runtime testing that catches real, exploitable vulnerabilities pre-production.

Cycode’s ASPM platform automatically ingests StackHawk findings and correlates them with SDLC metadata—repositories, commits, branches, and code owners. It enriches findings with context, orchestrates remediation workflows through Jira, GitHub, or GitLab, and tracks fixes through validation using Cycode’s Risk Intelligence Graph.

This partnership connects code-to-runtime insights, eliminating the hand-offs and blind spots that slow down modern AppSec programs.

What You Get:

• Complete traceability from runtime finding back to the exact source code and developer responsible
• Unified visibility across all security findings, correlated with code ownership and business context
• Automated workflows routing issues to the right developer with full remediation context
• Risk-based prioritization showing where runtime vulnerabilities intersect with dependencies, cloud assets, and business-critical functions

In an era where AI is accelerating development exponentially, security needs both accurate, real-time detection and unified visibility of risks across the SDLC.

AppSec teams leveraging StackHawk and Cycode get both: runtime testing that finds what matters, ASPM that connects findings to code and prioritizes based on real risk, and automated workflows to fix critical vulnerabilities fast.
