Shield Your APIs with HCL AppScan API Security
Comprehensive API Discovery, Dynamic Testing and Risk Management
HCL AppScan API Security provides a robust solution for securing APIs that seamlessly discovers, inventories and analyzes all APIs. With AI-powered insights, it quickly identifies and resolves vulnerabilities, empowering organizations to secure and manage their entire API ecosystem effectively.
Powering Next-Level API Security
Continuous Discovery
Reduce security blind spots with an expertly trained, AI-infused discovery platform that finds and inventories all API assets, pinpoints sensitive data in transit, links APIs to owners and functions and provides insights into your API security posture.
Posture Governance
Enforce corporate API standards with AI-driven insights that assess and prioritize the riskiest API assets. Adopt industry best practices using pre-built policy templates and an expansive API policy library to reduce risk and simplify compliance.
Dynamic Analysis
Save time and resources with hyper accurate API-specific vulnerability testing achieved through seamless integration of best-of-breed DAST with up-to-date specs, business logic, and API configuration data. Ensure 100% coverage of the OWASP API Security Top 10 list.
Benefits
Benefits
- Comprehensive API Coverage: The continuous discovery platform generates insights that are automatically integrated into HCL AppScan’s in-depth testing (SAST, DAST, IAST and SCA) to help identify vulnerabilities that might otherwise be missed.
- Accelerated Incident Response: Improved DAST testing based on API behaviors to quickly identify and address vulnerabilities.
- Regulatory Compliance: Achieve compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and other regulations. Robust Policy Implementation for acceptable API behavior and access controls, treating APIs as core assets for governance and compliance audits.
- Maximized Business Value: Empower developers with guardrails for developing secure APIs inhouse. Streamline workflow by managing APIs the same way as other IT assets.

Unmasking the Shadows: The Role of API Discovery in Effective Cybersecurity
Why API Discovery is essential for effective API security.
Features
Automatic API Discovery
Identify all APIs, including undocumented, shadow and zombie APIs or those which are not even present in API gateways or OpenAPI specifications to gain full visibility over the API ecosystem. Protect sensitive data, such as PII, that may be exposed through undiscovered APIs.
Detailed API Intelligence
Granular API details, including parameters, usage patterns, risk scores, and sensitive data exposure, provide a clear understanding of an attack surface and risk profile. Dynamic Documentation Maintenance keeps API documentation up-to-date by continuously comparing discovered APIs with existing records.
Contextual API Insights
Advanced filtering and querying capabilities derive custom, context-rich insights into API behavior. Comprehensive Risk Evaluations assess potential risks associated with each API, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and sensitive data exposure.
API Testing
Automatic DAST scans analyze APIs using Postman collection files, Open API descriptions, recorded traffic, or via seamless integrations with leading API testing tools. IAST API Monitoring detects and catalogs all internal APIs via IAST API calls. SCA scans open-source packages in API development to identify vulnerable third-party API components.
Insight-driven Governance
Discovery insights create and customize posture governance policies, using an advanced API Posture Governance engine. Extend existing IT security policies and/or apply pre-built or custom rules to ensure consistent security measures like authentication, authorization and input validation for all APIs.
Intelligent Risk Prioritization
Posture governance engine analyzes API risks within the IT ecosystem. Risk prioritization is based on business impact, allowing organizations to focus on remediating the most critical vulnerabilities. Posture checks can be embedded into CI/CD pipelines during API design, enabling faster remediation aligned with DevSecOps practices.
