Getting started
Security is about protecting your valuable assets. Some of the most important assets your organization owns are in the form of information, such as intellectual property, strategic plans, and customer data. Protecting this information is critical for your organization to continue to operate, be competitive, and meet regulatory requirements.

Navigation
This section describes the items on the main ASoC menu bar, and links to more detailed information.
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
DAST
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.
IAST
Using an agent installed on your application, ASoC identifies security vulnerabilities in your app 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.
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 Scan History tab of your application displays your scan results (including scan statistics) and rescan options.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

System requirements and version support

This topic provides links to system requirements and supported operating systems and languages for the ASoC analyzers. Also learn about the supported browsers and minimum resolution for the service.

Allowlist

ASoC uses the following IP ranges (inbound and outbound), on port 443. Make sure the relevant IPs are not blocked by your firewall.

North America data center: 52.252.14.0/24, 40.67.153.0/24
Western Europe data center: 20.52.22.0/24, 51.116.136.216/24

Important: Access to domain: cloud.appscan.com is essential

For some DAST Command Execution and Remote File Inclusion security tests, including those for the Log4j vulnerability, the tested server must be able to send DNS lookup queries to:

securityip.appsechcl.com
appscan.com

ASoC uses the following domains for Azure blob storage when downloading reports or tools from the cloud:

North America data center: asocstorage.blob.core.windows.net
Western Europe data center: pdeasocstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net

Note: The IPs for these domains are managed by Azure and could change, so the domains themselves should be added to the allow list.

For more information about data centers, see Data center selection.

ASoC analyzers

Requirements and limitations:

Browser

ASoC supports the latest versions of the following browsers:

Chrome
Edge
Firefox
Safari (Mac only)

Screen resolution

The recommended screen resolution for ASoC is 1920 x 1080.

Login requirements

If login to your site or app requires credentials other than username and password, you can supply these when setting up the scan, but note that intervention by our Support team will be required to run the scan, which may increase scan time.
CAPTCHA is not supported. You must disable any CAPTCHA mechanism in order to scan.
