While your engineers or AI copilots code, RapidFix works in the background — scanning code repositories and pulling requests to deliver instant, high-quality fixes that keep your code clean, secure, and production-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is automated remediation?

Automated remediation is the process of automatically fixing security vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in applications, systems, or code without requiring manual intervention. In the context of application security, it involves tools that analyze scan results and generate secure, context-aware code changes or configuration updates to resolve identified issues quickly and accurately. For example, HCL AppScan RapidFix uses agentic AI to provide automated remediation by generating production-ready code fixes for vulnerabilities detected during security testing—enabling developers to address issues faster and more efficiently.

This approach helps teams in reducing the time required to remediate vulnerabilities (MTTR), minimizing human error in applying patches, and accelerating secure software delivery within CI/CD pipelines. RapidFix can help improve Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR), which is the average time it takes to fix or mitigate a vulnerability after it's been detected. A low MTTR indicates an efficient remediation process.

What is autotriage?

Autotriage refers to the automated process of analyzing and prioritizing security vulnerabilities based on their severity, exploitability, and impact—helping teams focus on the most critical issues first.

Instead of manually reviewing each finding, auto triage uses algorithms, AI, or predefined rules to classify vulnerabilities (e.g., high, medium, low risk), filter out false positives, map findings to relevant compliance standards, and assign remediation urgency.

In tools like HCL AppScan RapidFix, autotriage streamlines vulnerability management by reducing noise, saving time for developers and security teams, and enabling faster decision-making in large-scale or continuous testing environments.

How does HCL AppScan RapidFix help developers fix vulnerabilities faster?

HCL AppScan RapidFix analyzes scan results and automatically suggests secure code fixes tailored to the identified vulnerabilities. Developers can apply these validated patches directly, significantly reducing manual remediation time.

What types of vulnerabilities can HCL AppScan RapidFix resolve?

AppScan RapidFix addresses common security issues such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure deserialization, and broken authentication by providing AI-generated code fixes.

How does RapidFix accelerate DevSecOps?

By automating triage and remediation, HCL AppScan RapidFix reduces mean time to fix (MTTF), lowers security debt, and enables developers to address vulnerabilities proactively, integrating protection seamlessly into fast-paced DevOps cycles.
