StackHawk Rolls Out SHARP Channel Program to Scale AI-Era AppSec

New updates have been reported about StackHawk.

StackHawk has launched the StackHawk Alliances & Resellers Program (SHARP), making a full strategic shift toward indirect go-to-market execution under Sr. Director of Channel Sales Jim Torson. The program gives security resellers guaranteed 30%+ margins, transparent pricing, exclusive NFR licenses, and hands-on training so they can deploy the company’s AppSec Intelligence Platform directly in customer CI/CD pipelines, surfacing exploitable vulnerabilities before release and keeping pace with AI-accelerated development. StackHawk’s latest survey shows 87% of organizations now use AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code, and AppSec teams cite staying aligned with AI-driven release velocity as their top critical challenge for 2026; SHARP aims to make channel partners the trusted advisors that close that gap. With early participation from Defy, GuidePoint, Myriad360, Optiv, Trace3, and WWT, StackHawk expects the channel-centric strategy to drive sustainable growth, expand services opportunities for partners, and reinforce its positioning against legacy static analysis and DAST tools that struggle with AI-era noise. Trace3’s Sr. Practice Director David Nester noted that StackHawk’s runtime testing and attack-surface discovery translate developer workflows into actionable signal, improving release-cycle confidence. By centralizing AppSec intelligence, StackHawk provides executives with higher assurance that programs can match developer velocity, deliver measurable risk reduction, and support large enterprises such as British Airways, ITV, and Norstella. The company is directing interested partners to its website for enrollment details, underscoring an “all-in” channel commitment designed to align customer outcomes, partner margins, and StackHawk’s long-term revenue ambitions under the SHARP initiative.
