AppScan on Cloud

AppScan on Cloud (ASoC, by HCLSoftware) is a fully managed, cloud-delivered Application Security Testing as a Service (ASTaaS) platform that provides fast, scalable, and automated security scanning across web applications, mobile apps, source code, and third-party dependencies. Operating from HCL secure cloud infrastructure, ASoC eliminates the overhead of procuring, configuring, and updating scanning hardware, enabling development and security teams to launch comprehensive SAST, DAST, IAST, and SCA scans in minutes.

The platform integrates deep scanning engines with intelligent automation and machine learning to deliver high accuracy and fast turnaround times. Key capabilities include Static Application Security Testing (SAST) supporting over 30 programming languages, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for running web applications and REST APIs, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to identify vulnerable open-source libraries, mobile application testing for iOS and Android APKs, and automated remediation guidance with code fix suggestions. By integrating directly into developer IDEs and cloud build pipelines, ASoC enables continuous security feedback without disrupting fast-paced sprint cycles.

AppScan on Cloud integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Jira, and popular IDEs including VS Code and IntelliJ IDEA. Primary enterprise use cases include scaling application security testing without infrastructure management, enforcing automated security quality gates in agile CI/CD pipelines, auditing open-source supply chain risks, and verifying compliance with OWASP Top 10 and PCI-DSS standards. HCL AppScan on Cloud provides cloud agility, comprehensive multi-modal scanning, and developer-friendly vulnerability remediation.
