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.
- Home
  The Home page shows your associated asset groups and applications, as well as recent applications and scans in your organization that are within the asset groups to which you are assigned. From the Home page, you can select one of your latest applications or scans, or view all applications and all scans on the Applications page and the Scans and sessions page, respectively. The What's New section lists recent updates to ASoC.
- 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.
- 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 and provides visual analytics charts for monitoring scan metrics and trends across DAST, SAST, and SCA technologies.
  - Single scan view
    This view collects together all the data for a specific DAST or SAST scan, including all executions of the scan.
- Libraries
  Search for, review, and take action on open source libraries associated with applications.
- Governance
  Governance is your go-to hub for managing policies, domains, and audit trails.
- Administration
  Use options in the Administration menu to manage users, roles, and access to data.
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. 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.The Scans and Sessions page lists scans under the categories where you can view your scan results, including scan statistics.

AppScan on Cloud AI assistant
The AI assistant is an integrated intelligence layer that works within the AppScan on Cloud environment. It provides security insights, automates issue triage, and offers remediation guidance.
AppScan Model Context Protocol (MCP) server
The AppScan MCP server integrates HCL AppScan on Cloud directly with AI-powered development environments and agents. By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this server allows LLMs (such as Claude or models running in VS Code) to securely access your security data—including SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST results—to help you triage issues, analyze findings, and automate workflows using natural language.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Scans and sessions

This view lists all scans and sessions in all your applications and provides visual analytics charts for monitoring scan metrics and trends across DAST, SAST, and SCA technologies.

Tip:

The main Scans page lists all scans in all your applications. To view scans for a specific application, select Applications > Application page > Scans and sessions.

Admin metrics and visual analytics

The Scans and sessions page for DAST, SAST, and SCA provides administrators with key metrics and charts. It shows the current number of queued scans and scans under review, and includes 7-day charts for average and maximum queue duration.
