HCL AppScan 360º: Unlocking Scalability and Efficiency

The ever-evolving application security landscape demands agility and adaptability. Recognizing this, we're excited to announce the upcoming release of HCL AppScan 360º, our cloud-native application security platform, featuring a significant architectural shift designed to enhance its scalability, maintainability, and overall user experience.

Kubernetes at the Core:

At the core of this transformation lies the adoption of Kubernetes, the industry-leading container orchestration platform. Both the Central Platform (ASCP) and the SAST component have been re-architected to leverage Kubernetes' inherent strengths, delivering tangible benefits:

• Effortless Scaling: Respond to fluctuating demand with ease. Kubernetes empowers you to seamlessly scale your HCL AppScan 360º infrastructure up or down, ensuring optimal performance during peak periods or quieter stretches.
• Unified Management: Complexity, simplified. Manage both ASCP and SAST through a single, standardized Kubernetes deployment, streamlining administration, updates and user experience. Eliminate the need for separate Windows and Kubernetes installations.
• Streamlined Installation: Ditch the installation kit maze. The new HCL AppScan 360º leverages standardized Kubernetes configurations, minimizing downtime and allowing you to focus on securing your applications sooner.
• Best-in-Breed Technology: Kubernetes ensures your security platform benefits from the latest advancements in technology and performance, keeping you ahead of the security curve.
• Consistent On-Prem/Cloud Experience: The new architecture fosters a seamless experience between your on-premises and cloud deployments. This alignment simplifies management and ensures consistent security practices across your hybrid environment.

What You Gain:

• Reduced Complexity: Manage your entire AppSec platform with ease through a unified Kubernetes-based architecture.
• Improved Scalability: Adapt your security testing efforts to your evolving needs without infrastructure bottlenecks.
• Simplified Maintenance: Benefit from streamlined installation and simplified updates.
• Stronger Security Posture: Leverage the latest technology and a unified security approach to enhance your application security.

Moving Forward:

This architecture update sets the stage for future enhancements and improved user experience.
