This section describes the items on the main AppScan on Cloud menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
- All applications
  The Applications page lists all applications in your organization that are within the asset groups to which you are assigned. From the Applications page, you can create new applications and open individual application pages.
- Scans and sessions
  This view lists all scans and sessions in all your applications.
- Open source libraries
  Search for, review, and take action on open source libraries associated with applications.
  - Library details
    Click on a library in the Open souce libraries page to view details of that library and take additional action. The detail pane contains useful information about the library, including overall risk of the library to your applications, license details, a list of applications that use the library, and the application owner.
- Dashboard
  The main dashboard is the fourth item on the main menu bar. It gives you a detailed overview of active issues, MTTR issues, applications, and scans along with graphs and charts that display the overall state of your applications.
- Organization
  Organization is your go-to hub for managing policies, domains, settings, subscriptions, and audit trails – it's where you control and organize it all.
Administration
Define users, 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. SCA includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
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).
Results
The Scans and Sessions page lists the scans under the categories DAST, SAST, SCA, and IAST, where you can view your scan results, including scan statistics. To view, rescan, or download reports, select a scan.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Searching for open source libraries

Note: Open source library search requires the Software Composition Analyzer subscription. Learn more about Software Composition Analysis.

When you click on Libraries in the menu bar, you first search ASoC for a library in applications available to you:

Type the name of an open source library into the text box, then click Search.

   

If there are results, ASoC lists libraries that meet search criteria in applications to which the user has access though asset group membership.
