Enhance application security by testing code during early SDLC stages using Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Developers can pinpoint vulnerabilities in source code, seamlessly integrate security into development through IDEs and CI/CD pipelines. SAST is the first step to quickly identify and address vulnerabilities before they pose security risks.

Dramatically improve scan accuracy with IFA 2.0 (Intelligent Finding Analytics) which uses AI in the background to reduce your workload. IFA 2.0 does much of the triage work for you by automatically filtering out 98% of false positives and then grouping the remaining findings into fix groups so they can be remedied by a fix in one code point.

Wider Scan Coverage with AI

HCL AppScan SAST leverages powerful AI/machine learning with Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA) to widen scan coverage. ICA automatically discovers new APIs, reviews all third-party APIs and frameworks, and assesses them for the right security impact.

Secrets Scanning

Secrets Scanning


Use our SAST technology to identify secrets, credentials, social security numbers, API Keys, etc., that developers and software engineers have accidentally stored in source code repositories during development. Finding and removing secrets from code is a critical aspect of software supply chain security since this information, if found by malicious actors, can be stolen, or used to further hack into applications.

Auto-Fix 

HCL AppScan CodeSweep technology provides an auto-fix capability along with SAST scanning which can automatically fix the code in the specific application being tested when a vulnerability is detected in the IDE. Currently more than 50% of the findings in CodeSweep scans can be fixed automatically. Our existing CodeSweep GitHub integration will also be adding auto-fix capability via automatically creating pull requests with the suggested auto-fix.

Fix Recommendations

HCL AppScan SAST provides effective remediation guidance by alerting you to security errors or common design flaws in your code. In addition to the alerts, SAST will construct and recommend one or multiple fixes to the user and assist in the resolution process with the help of the continuously updated HCL AppScan Security Knowledgebase.
