AI-driven Scan Accuracy with IFA 2.0
AI-driven Scan Accuracy with IFA 2.0
IFA 2.0 (Intelligent Finding Analytics) uses AI to dramatically improve scan precision and reduce manual efforts. It filters out up to 98% of false positives and groups related issues into single fix points—streamlining triage and accelerating remediation.
Wider Scan Coverage with AI
Wider Scan Coverage with AI
HCL AppScan SAST uses Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA), powered by AI, to automatically discover new APIs, analyze third-party frameworks, and assess their security impact—ensuring broader and deeper scan coverage across your codebase.
Build IaC Scanning into SAST Workflows
Build IaC Scanning into SAST Workflows
Automatically scan Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files like Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes with AppScan’s SAST engine to detect misconfigurations, hardcoded secrets, and vulnerabilities—early and effortlessly, with zero impact on your workflow.
Extend security coverage with AppScan Supply Chain Security—now offering deeper checks for insecure configurations, unencrypted resources, and risky permissions.
Secrets Scanning for Secure Code
Secrets Scanning for Secure Code
Use our SAST technology to help detect sensitive data—such as credentials, API keys, social security numbers, and other secrets—accidentally embedded in source code. By identifying and removing these exposures early, you strengthen software supply chain security and reduce the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
Auto-Fix with CodeSweep
CodeSweep enhances SAST scanning with built-in auto-fix capabilities. When vulnerabilities are detected in the IDE, CodeSweep can automatically remediate issues directly in the application code—resolving over 50% of findings instantly. GitHub integration further streamlines this process by generating pull requests with suggested fixes, accelerating your development cycle.
Actionable Fix Recommendations
SAST not only detects security flaws and design issues—it also guides you toward resolution. With context-aware fix suggestions powered by the continuously updated AppScan Security Knowledgebase, developers receive one or more recommended fixes tailored to each finding, streamlining remediation and strengthening code security.
