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.
Reports
Generate reports for issues discovered in an application. Send reports to send to developers, internal auditors, penetration testers, managers, and the CISO. Security information might be extensive, and can be filtered depending on your requirements.
Reducing report size
Reports can be large. AppScan on Cloud imposes a limit of 20,000 issues in a single report. During report generation, you might receive a warning message that the file is hundreds of pages long, or the report creation process might time out.

Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan on Cloud, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Navigation
This section describes the items on the main AppScan on Cloud menu bar, with links to more detailed information.
Administration
Define users, 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).

- Sample Security Reports
- Application reports
- Scan data
- Issues
  The Issues page for an application, by default displays non-compliant issues only. You can apply a variety of filters to see the issues you need, and click on any issue to open the detailed issue information pane.
- Correlation
  AppScan analyzes issues found by IAST, DAST and SAST to identify common weak links in the code (correlations) where multiple vulnerabilities can be resolved with a single or consolidated remediation effort.
- Fix groups
  Fix groups currently apply only to issues found in static analysis scans.
- Reports
  Generate reports for issues discovered in an application. Send reports to send to developers, internal auditors, penetration testers, managers, and the CISO. Security information might be extensive, and can be filtered depending on your requirements.
  - Reducing report size
    Reports can be large. AppScan on Cloud imposes a limit of 20,000 issues in a single report. During report generation, you might receive a warning message that the file is hundreds of pages long, or the report creation process might time out.
- Remediation
  After risks are determined and vulnerabilities are prioritized, your security team can start the remediation process.
- Rescanning
  Following your first scan, as you fix issues you can scan the same application again multiple times and overwrite the previous results; the dashboard always displays the current results. When you scan again (rather than starting a new scan), the rescan overwrites the previous one.
- IAST scan results
  An interactive (IAST) scan entry shows results since the last time the scan was started.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Reducing report size

Reports can be large. AppScan on Cloud imposes a limit of 20,000 issues in a single report. During report generation, you might receive a warning message that the file is hundreds of pages long, or the report creation process might time out.

The following tips can help reduce report size.

Limit the report to a sub-set of issues. Filter the issue list before you select the issues you want to report.
If you see that your application contains thousands of issues, consider generating a Summary only.
Including the issue details, plus the How to Fix recommendations, can add many pages to reports. Select these options only if you really need them.
To include only High an Critical issues in a report, or only issues found after a certain date, apply a filter to the results before generating the report.
