Case Study: Pharmacy Benefits Optimizer achieves faster, scalable API security testing with StackHawk

Pharmacy Benefits Optimizer boosts API security scans 3x with StackHawk

The customer, Pharmacy Benefits Optimizer, a leading pharmacy benefits optimizer, faced challenges with outdated security tools that slowed development and created gaps in vulnerability detection. To modernize its API security, the company turned to StackHawk's automated application security testing solution to remove these roadblocks and protect sensitive healthcare data.

By implementing StackHawk, the solution integrated directly into developer workflows with GitHub and Jira, enabling a shift-left approach. This resulted in security scans increasing from 50-60 to nearly 200 per week, expanded coverage to over 40 applications, and accelerated release cycles without compromising security.
