Summary
Welcome and ZAP overview
StackHawk CEO Joni Klippert opens ZAPCon 2022, welcoming attendees on behalf of ZAP creator Simon Bennetts and the community. She describes OWASP ZAP as the widely used open-source DAST engine for modern apps, APIs, and automation—StackHawk's product is built on it.
DevOps AppSec shift
Klippert argues cloud-first microservices, CI/CD, and API-centric SPAs require modern DAST with API testing. ZAPCon sessions cover automation, GitHub Actions workshops, OAuth top 10, and practitioner panels on leveling up AppSec.
Community growth
ZAPCon 2021 exceeded 2,300 registrants versus a 400-person goal, prompting the 2022 return with doubled content and hands-on workshops. StackHawk announces a $100,000 ZAP community fund for contributions and thanks core maintainers Simon, Ricardo, Rick, and Axton plus sponsors Snyk and CircleCI.
