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.
- All applications
  The Applications page lists all applications in your organization that are within the asset groups to which you are assigned. From the Applications page, you can create new applications and open individual application pages.
- Scans and sessions
  This view lists all scans and sessions in all your applications.
  - Single scan view
    This view collects together all the data for a specific DAST or SAST scan, including all executions of the scan.
- Dashboard
  The main dashboard is the third item on the main menu bar. It gives you a detailed overview of the current state and history of all your applications.
- Domains
  Domains view lists the domains for which you have permission to run dynamic (DAST) scans, and lets you verify additional domains for scanning. Verification is not needed for private sites, where an AppScan Presence is used.
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.
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.
FAQ & Reference
Frequently asked questions, information about integrating ASoC into the product lifecycle (SDLC), and ASoC API documentation.
