Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan 360°, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Installation
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
Navigation
This section describes the items on the main AppScan 360° menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
Static analysis
Use static analysis (SAST) to scan for security vulnerabilities in web and desktop applications. Static analysis includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
- System requirements for static analysis
  Supported operating systems and the types of files, locations, and projects that can be scanned by AppScan 360° when you perform static analysis.
- Scanning for security vulnerabilities
  To scan source code for security vulnerabilities, follow the steps in these topics.
  - Configure a scan in AppScan 360°
  - Configuring a scan using AppScan Go!
    Use AppScan Go! to configure a static scan. You can then run the scan in the cloud or use a plugin to automate scanning.
  - Using the Static Analyzer Command Line Utility
    The Static Analyzer Command Line Utility (SAClientUtil) is used to generate an IRX that can be scanned in a AppScan on Cloud or AppScan 360°. The appscan.sh prepare command is supported for use with AppScan 360° Static Analysis.
  - Language-specific features
  - Static analysis scan results
    Features available in static analysis scan results.
    - Sample Trace Result
      The following sample trace result shows the flow of tainted data through a section of an application that contains an SQL Injection vulnerability.
    - Fix groups
      Fix groups currently apply only to issues found in static analysis scans.
- Sample applications and scripts
- Static analysis troubleshooting
  If you experience problems with static analysis, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.
Results
The Scan History tab of your application displays your scan results (including scan statistics) and rescan options.

SAST scan results

Features available in static analysis scan results.

When you use the static analysis functionality of the AppScan 360° service, you can generate security analysis reports that make use of Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA). IFA is a powerful machine-learning technology that does much of the triage work for you by, among other things, filtering out false positives and by grouping findings that can be remedied by a fix in one code point. To learn more about IFA, see this article.

In addition, static analysis scans make use of Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA). ICA automatically discovers new application programming interfaces (API) and assesses them for security impact. Through ICA, all third-party API and frameworks are reviewed and assigned the right security impact. This allows for more complete scan results. To learn more about ICA, see this article.

Note: ICA is currently only applied when scanning Java, C/C++, .NET, and PHP.

Static analysis assessments list findings by fix group. A fix group represents the most common node that grouped findings flow through. Typically, if a fix is implemented for a fix group, you can achieve the greatest effect for less work. A fix group can also be considered a logical grouping point wherein related findings can be reviewed at the same time. Note that a fix group may not be the exact place at which a fix should be placed. Future refactoring, code practices, and other factors might preclude using the fix group location for a fix.

Note: Each fix group displays a maximum number of 100 findings per vulnerability type.
