An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we last covered StackHawk in October 2022, the company offered a dynamic application security testing (DAST) tool that ran within CI/CD processes, enabling developers to find and fix security issues before they reached production.
Since that time, StackHawk has incorporated generative AI technology into its tool for discovering security issues with code in GitHub repositories. It can identify hidden APIs within source code and describe associated problems via natural language responses.
StackHawk is also working with industry leaders to develop automated testing of generative AI prompts for security threats like prompt injection. Essentially, StackHawk treats prompts as another type of API.
