Case Study: Global Airline Company achieves operationalized API security at scale and accelerated development with StackHawk

Global Airline Company Operationalizes API Security at Scale

Global Airline Company, a UK-based transportation leader with more than 18,300 employees, faced development bottlenecks and a growing security backlog as its complex microservices ecosystem struggled to scale security testing and handle complex authentication. To address this, Global Airline Company adopted StackHawk’s API security solution to integrate security into developer workflows and shift testing left.

StackHawk implemented automated API discovery and testing that supports complex authentication and ties into the airline’s CI/CD pipelines, enabling security to be owned by developers. As a result, StackHawk helped accelerate development cycles, significantly reduce the security backlog, and drive a lasting shift to a developer-centric security culture.
