I would say that HCL AppScan is very simple to understand and use since it uses a user-friendly interface and the terminologies that are used in the interface of the application is very clear. We can automate a scan with any third party like Jenkins. The fact, I don't like is the time takes to execute the application, it should be better.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • AppScan works well in finding application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and all of the OWASP top 10.
  • Flexible reporting allows us to generate executive reports for application owners as well as separate technical reports for developers and system engineers.
  • Technical reports include remediation information and cross reference CVSS scores
  • Because it maintains data on all repeated assessments it helps us to do trending and metrics on compliance

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • The functions you want, the points that are difficult to understand.
  • Issues presented in the vulnerability diagnostic report may not be fully explained and not well understood.
  • You may think it is very basic and natural, "diagnose screen after login" "diagnose according to input transition ⇒ confirmation ⇒ completion" but to do all this, you need regular expressions, and macros, there are many products that require you to write scripts.

When we used Veracode, it takes a-lot of time to run a source code analysis. It's user interface is also bit clumsy. So we switched to HCL AppScan. It enables enterprises to scan internal and external applications for vulnerabilities. It provides quick and easy access to the most updated security guidelines by scanning applications against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

Appknox Screenshots

Screenshot of Appknox automated scanner is easy to use and has vast API compatibilities which make it simple to integrate into the mobile Application Development cycle, providing complete automation of SAST, DAST, and Application Program Interface(API) Testing.Screenshot of FileID: This is a unique serial number get auto-assigned by the dashboard and has multiple use cases such as compare feature & look for assistance. Namespace: The namespace or bundle ID are fetched from the binary itself, as based on the namespace the scanner curates different uploads and creates new projects. Platform: This is the second category based on which the scanner differentiates between two files having the same namespaces. The dashboard supports IOS, Android & Windows Application. Version & Version Code: These details are Auto-fetched from the binary and can be used for later for comparison & tracking uploads over time.Screenshot of Static Application Security Testing (SAST) can be considered as testing an application from the inside out by examining its source code or application binaries for issues based on the configuration which point towards a security vulnerability.Screenshot of A Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) analysis is generally specifically designed to detect conditions indicative of a security vulnerability in an application while in its running state.Screenshot of A Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) analysis is generally specifically designed to detect conditions indicative of a security vulnerability in an application while in its running state.Screenshot of If this function is enabled, the scanner will detect & capture all the API calls made & API End Points used during the dynamic scan session.

HCL AppScan Screenshots

Screenshot of Cloud Security: AppScan will scan Docker containers and container images to ensure that third party components have not introduced vulnerabilities to an application. Software composition analysis (SCA) tools help organizations inventory third-party commercial and open source components used within their software to understand which components and versions are being used and to identify security vulnerabilities affecting those components.Screenshot of API Testing: This dangerous attack vector can be secured by identifying vulnerable third-party components, automating and integrating API testing and detecting issues in the IDE.Screenshot of Auto Issue Correlation: AppScan leverages three technologies (DAST, SAST, IAST) to enrich results, validate fixes and reduce the number remediation tasks by grouping issues together.Screenshot of 30+ Code Languages Supported: HCL AppScan offers an extensive list of supported code languages.
