Customer Data Platform Achieves 95% API Coverage

Before adopting StackHawk, the company faced mounting challenges as rapid API development outpaced their ability to test effectively. False positives overwhelmed both security and engineering teams, while manual, error-prone processes slowed response times and obscured critical risks. By shifting to StackHawk, they eliminated the noise, streamlined vulnerability management, and gained the confidence to deliver secure, high-performing solutions without slowing innovation.

They weren’t just looking for another tool, they needed a trusted security partner that could meet their technical complexity and velocity head-on. Integration was a big deal. StackHawk easily connected with their existing toolchain, making it simple to map applications to code repositories and send scan results to existing developer workflows. It felt less like bolting on another layer and more like extending what they already had. Even better, StackHawk delivered features that actually moved the needle: automated API discovery, customization options for fewer false positives, and flexible policy management that worked at an organizational level. Bonus points for the Backstage plugin, which brings security directly into the developer portal. It wasn’t just about ticking boxes. StackHawk proved it could scale with them, support their DevSecOps goals, and bring order to a chaotic security landscape.

Since adopting StackHawk, the company has transitioned from a reactive to a proactive approach to application security. They’ve successfully scaled their security testing across 15+ applications without adding unnecessary overhead. Today, 95% of their APIs are under active testing with StackHawk, offering a level of visibility and control that was previously out of reach. They know what’s in their attack surface, what’s vulnerable, and where to focus—no more security blind spots. The team has also seen a noticeable drop in false positives, which means developers are spending less time chasing ghosts and more time building. StackHawk’s automation and policy tools have turned once-manual processes into efficient, repeatable workflows.
