Discover Your Complete
Application Attack Surface From Source Code

Map every API and application directly from source code to automatically turn visibility into testing coverage.

The Challenge

You Can’t Secure What You Can’t See

Without clear visibility into your application attack surface, risk assessment becomes educated guesswork. If you don’t know what exists—or what changed—how can you be confident you’re testing the right things?

Code Ships Faster Than Security Can Track

AI-assisted development means new APIs, services, and endpoints appear constantly. Manual inventories fall behind the moment they’re written.

Discovering APIs in Production Is Too Late

Traditional discovery tools wait for network traffic—finding APIs after deployment. That’s visibility after exposure, not before risk.

Modern Application Components Introduce New Risks

Microservices, serverless functions, and AI/LLM integrations quietly multiply your attack surface—far beyond what legacy inventories were built to track.

How it Works

Source Code Visibility is the Secret
to AppSec Testing That Scales

Continuous Source Code Visibility

Connects directly to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket—no agents, no production scanning
Analyzes every repository to identify APIs, applications, and testable attack surface
Detects REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket endpoints, and serverless functions
Updates continuously with every commit—your inventory never gets stale

Surface App Risk Insights Directly from Repositories

Identifies which applications handle sensitive data (PII, PCI, HIPAA) at the code level
Surfaces commit activity and change velocity to flag fast-moving, high-risk repos
Distinguishes testable applications from documentation repos, libraries, and infra
Helps small AppSec teams focus on the 15 apps that matter, not the 100 that exist

Sensitive Data Identification and API Discovery Product Screenshot

From Discovery to Testing—Automatically

Auto-generates OpenAPI specifications directly from code using AI
Eliminates manual spec writing and maintenance overhead
Specs update continuously as code changes—no more outdated documentation
Bridges the gap between discovered API to configured DAST scan

API Discovery From Code

Repository Risk Insights

OpenAPI Spec Generation

API Discovery

StackHawk integrates with your source code repositories to map all your apps and APIs, giving you complete visibility across your attack surface.

Repo Insights

To help prioritize which apps and APIs to test, StackHawk automatically identifies where sensitive data lives, languages and frameworks in use, and commit activity.

OpenAPI Spec Generation

StackHawk automatically creates API specifications from source code, giving AppSec teams instantly testable assets without relying on devs to manually create specs.

What Visibility Looks Like in Practice

Eliminate Shadow APIs

Discover every endpoint before it reaches production—no more pen test surprises, no unknown exposure.

Prioritize with Confidence

Understand which apps handle sensitive data and change frequently—focus effort where real risk lives.

Accelerate Time to Test

Auto-generated OpenAPI specs turn discovery directly into testing coverage, without configuration bottlenecks.
