StackHawk Introduces Alliances Program to Empower AppSec Teams in AI Development Era

StackHawk Launches Alliances Program in AI Security Era

In an exciting development for AppSec teams, StackHawk has announced the launch of its new Alliances Program, aimed at helping organizations better navigate the challenges presented by AI-driven software development. This initiative reflects StackHawk’s commitment to channel partners and highlights the increasing importance of application security in the age of AI.

Led by Jim Torson, Senior Director of Channel Sales at StackHawk, the Alliances Program is designed to support security-focused resellers in delivering state-of-the-art application security solutions to their clients. As organizations increasingly turn to AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, the need for effective security mechanisms has never been greater. Recent surveys suggest that 87% of organizations have adopted such tools, making it essential for AppSec teams to keep pace with these rapidly evolving technologies.

The current landscape presents unique challenges, with AI-accelerated development now identified as the top concern for AppSec teams heading into 2026. Traditional static analysis and legacy Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) systems struggle to address this new reality, often unable to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in a timely manner. StackHawk’s innovative approach promises to change that by integrating runtime testing with comprehensive application attack surface discovery—enabling teams to identify and mitigate risks during the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) process before code goes live.

Jim Torson emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, "We’re going all-in on alliances because that’s how customers win. Channel partners serve as trusted advisors, helping organizations make sense of a rapidly changing AppSec landscape. Our partners are on the front lines assisting clients to stay ahead of AI advancements, and we’re dedicated to providing them with the resources they need to thrive."

Advantages of Partnering with StackHawk

The launch of the StackHawk Alliances Program is part of a broader strategy to prioritize channel partnerships as a core aspect of the company’s go-to-market initiatives. Early engagement from key security partners has been promising, indicating a growing appetite for StackHawk’s advanced AppSec solutions.

Among the numerous advantages offered by the program are guaranteed margins exceeding 30%, transparent pricing strategies, exclusive Not-For-Resale (NFR) licenses, and comprehensive training opportunities. By equipping partners with the tools they need, StackHawk aims to establish a sustainable ecosystem for growth and collaboration.

David Nester, Senior Practice Director for Application and Cloud Security at Trace3, commented on the significance of StackHawk’s approach, noting, "I have witnessed countless customers struggle with the same issues. With release cycles rapidly diminishing from months to a matter of hours, the signal-to-noise ratio becomes crucial. StackHawk transforms that equation, finding exploitable vulnerabilities in mere minutes and integrating seamlessly into developers' workflows."

Key partners who have joined the launch include notable names such as Defy, GuidePoint, Myriad360, Optiv, Trace3, and WWT. Organizations considering a partnership with StackHawk are encouraged to explore further details on the company’s website.
