HCL AppScan: Achieve Complete Software Supply Chain Security and Risk Management

Manage Risk Across Your Entire Software Supply Chain


In our hyper-connected world of the Digital+ economy, there is a real and increasing risk of costly attacks on your software supply chain.

The rising trend of software supply chain attacks exploits weaknesses in the supply chain to steal data, plant malware, and take control of systems. Plugging the gaps and managing that risk effectively is critical to your organization's success.

HCL AppScan Supply Chain Security gives you full visibility into the risk factors and in-depth assessment tools that let you test, triage and remediate vulnerabilities in record time.

Elevate your security posture across your entire software supply chain with a centralized platform, best-in-class application security testing (HCL AppScan on Cloud), and cutting edge Pipeline Bill of Materials (PBOM) technology.

Features

AppScan-Best-in-class Scanning Technologies

Best-in-class Scanning Technologies

Active ASPM relies on the accurate, actionable test findings provided by HCL AppScan on Cloud (a SaaS solution). This suite of technologies (SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST) offers deep source code analysis, web application and API testing, open-source discovery, container scanning, secrets scanning and more, ensuring security at every stage of the software development lifecycle.

AppScan-Pipeline Bill of Materials

Pipeline Bill of Materials (PBOM)

PBOM technology provides unparalleled visibility from code to cloud and traceability from cloud to code. The PBOM is a dynamic list of everything a piece of software has gone through, including all version lineage, SLSA.dev, SaaSBOM, security tool results, build hashes and more. It starts with the first line of code and continues all the way through to release, identifying any vulnerabilities along the way.

AppScan-Automated Supply Chain Security and Remediation

Automated Supply Chain Security and Remediation

HCL AppScan Supply Chain Security automatically maps results to the Open Software Supply Chain Attack Reference (OSC&R) framework (developed by Ox Security), the first and only open framework for understanding the attack techniques, tactics and procedures used by adversaries to compromise the security of the software supply chain.

AppScan-Remediation Assistance

Remediation Assistance

No-Code Workflow Automation enables DevOps and DevSecOps teams to quickly create intuitive, customizable response plans from an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. This no-code workflow automation, which also extends to container coverage, simplifies the creation of tailored workflows, automating ticketing and notifications, and enforcing granular policies to prevent security issues from reaching production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by software supply chain security?

Software supply chain security refers to the set of practices, technologies and frameworks designed to protect all stages of the software supply chain, from threats and vulnerabilities. This encompasses the entire lifecycle of software development, from initial design and coding to deployment, updates, and maintenance.

What are the biggest threats to supply chain security?

Securing the software supply chain presents several challenges, given its complexity and the multitude of stakeholders and components involved. To begin with, the use of numerous third-party libraries, frameworks and tools makes it difficult to ensure all components are secure. Additionally, the interdependencies between these different components can create a cascade effect where a vulnerability in one component can affect the entire system.

What is application security posture management?

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) is a holistic approach to securing your organization's applications throughout their lifecycle, from development to deployment and ongoing use. ASPM is your security coach for applications, helping you identify weaknesses and prioritize risks. It provides a clear view of your application security posture, allowing you to proactively fix vulnerabilities and maintain strong defenses.

What is a software supply chain attack?

A software supply chain attack targets vulnerabilities in a company's software vendor or development process to inject malicious code into the software itself. This way, attackers can gain access to a large number of systems once the compromised software is distributed and used by multiple organizations.
