Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan on Cloud, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Navigation
This section describes navigating AppScan on Cloud, including items on the side main menu and top navigation bars, with links to more detailed information.
Management
Define users, roles, groups, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
Dynamic analysis
AppScan on Cloud performs security scans for web-applications for production, staging and development environments. For development environments it is aided by Private Site Scanning technology to scan applications not accessible to the open Internet.
Interactive monitoring
Using an agent installed on your application, ASoC identifies security vulnerabilities in your application during runtime by monitoring all interactions, both legitimate and malicious. The process is "passive," in the sense that IAST does not send its own tests, and can therefore run indefinitely.
Software Composition Analysis
Use Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to scan for security vulnerabilities in open source and third-party packages used by your code.
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).
AI-powered security
AppScan on Cloud recognizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence in development protocols. Just as AI can speed and strengthen the application development process, so can AI be used to ensure those applications are secure and ready for market.

- Sample Security Reports
- Application reports
- Scan data
- Issues
  The Issues page for an application, by default displays non-compliant issues only. You can apply a variety of filters to see the issues you need, and click on any issue to open the detailed issue information pane.
  - Issue information
    The Issue information pane shows all content available for the issue.
  - Issue status
    Issues can be classified as Open, In Progress, Noise, Reopened, Passed, and Fixed.
  - Issue severity
    Issues can be classified as they appear in the Issues grid of an application.
  - Creating custom issue fields
    Custom issue fields let you categorize, filter, and tag issues more precisely, helping you streamline workflows and improve cross-team communication.
  - Triaging issues
    All issues are classified as open by default. You can see an issue classification by viewing the issue status.
  - Fix verification
    DAST issue verifier helps developers simulate DAST tests and validate DAST vulnerabilities reported by AppScan directly within their IDE or browser. This allows them to debug and confirm fixes without rescanning, reducing the time and effort needed for fix cycles.
  - Importing issues from third-party scanners
    Whether you use third-party scanners or conduct manual penetration tests to discover issues, you can import the issues from a CSV file into ASoC for triaging.
- Correlation
  AppScan analyzes issues found by IAST, DAST and SAST to identify common weak links in the code (correlations) where multiple vulnerabilities can be resolved with a single or consolidated remediation effort.
- Fix groups
  Fix groups currently apply only to issues found in static analysis scans.
- Reports
  Generate reports for issues discovered in an application. Send reports to send to developers, internal auditors, penetration testers, managers, and the CISO. Security information might be extensive, and can be filtered depending on your requirements.
- Remediation
  After risks are determined and vulnerabilities are prioritized, your security team can start the remediation process.
- Rescanning
  After you fix identified vulnerabilities, you can rescan the same application multiple times to verify your fixes and overwrite previous results. For DAST scans, you can choose from three scan modes: Full scan for complete coverage, Retest only to confirm fixes, or Incremental scan for changed areas only. For SAST and SCA scans, you can upload an updated archive file.
- IAST scan results
  An interactive (IAST) scan entry shows results since the last time the scan was started.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Custom issue fields

Custom issue fields let you categorize, filter, and tag issues more precisely, helping you streamline workflows and improve cross-team communication.

Creating custom issue fields

You can add up to five custom issue fields at the organization level and use them while traiging issues.

Procedure

Go to Administration > Settings > Issues and libraries.
Under the Custom issue fields section, click + Create.
Enter a unique name for the Custom issue field.
From the Field type drop-down, select the type:
- Free text
- Date
Optionally, you can add a help text that is displayed next to the custom field. This help text gives a hint to the user about entering the appropriate value.
Click Create.
The custom issue field is added and you can use it to tag issues using the Issue information page.
To modify the custom issue field, click the Edit icon, make the changes and then click Save.
To delete a custom issue field, click the Delete icon, and then click Delete again to confirm.
