APPSCAN APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING (AST) FAMILY OF PRODUCTS
HCL AppScan, previously known as IBM AppScan, is a family of web security testing and monitoring tools formerly from the Rational Software division of IBM.
AppScan is intended to test Web applications for security vulnerabilities during the development process, when it is least expensive to fix such problems. The product learns the behavior of each application, whether an off-the-shelf application or internally developed, and develops a program intended to test all of its functions for both common and application-specific vulnerabilities.
AppScan was originally developed by software company Sanctum Ltd. (which was initially named Perfecto Technologies) and was first released in 1998. In 1999 Sanctum expanded its web security offering and launched one of the world's first Application firewall, named AppShield. The first version of AppScan was developed and was running on a dedicated Linux server.
AppScan version 2 was released in February 2001, adding policy recognition engine and knowledge database, an automatic and customizable crawler engine and attack simulator.
Version 3 was released in April 2002, adding collaborative testing capabilities, where different tasks can be assigned to different testers; and a number of user interface enhancements in both the scanning and reporting sections of the program.
In July 2004, Sanctum was acquired by Watchfire, which developed a web applications management platform named WebXM. AppScan became Watchfire's flagship product.
In June 2007, Watchfire was acquired by IBM and incorporated into the Rational Software product line, enabling IBM to cover more of the application development lifecycle; with an addition of a tool to help developers make security intrinsic to the application for address dynamic application security testing (DAST) requirements.
In 2009 IBM acquired Ounce Labs, adding to the AppScan line a tool that finds and corrects vulnerabilities in software source code during the development process, which was renamed AppScan Source Edition for static application security testing (SAST).
The solution under IBM hand, is further evolved for AppScan Enterprise, for Mobile AST and on cloud offering on top of the on premise, for the end to end modern DevSecOps requirement.
In June 2019, HCL acquired select IBM collaboration, commerce, digital experience, AppScan and BigFix solutions.

AppScan Standard
AppScan Standard is a dynamic application security testing tool designed for security experts and pen-testers. Using a powerful scanning engine, AppScan automatically crawls the target app and tests for vulnerabilities. Test results are prioritized and presented in a manner that allows the operator to quickly triage issues and hone-in on the most critical vulnerabilities found. Remediation is made easy using clear and actionable fix recommendations for each issue detected. As a result, continuously testing and assessing risk for web services and applications helps prevent a damaging security breach.
- Most powerful DAST scanning engine in the industry
Statistical analysis test optimization provides control on the trade-off between speed and coverage, and enables faster scans with minimal impact on accuracy. Leverage proprietary, action-based technology and tens-of-thousands of built-in scans. - Comprehensive security testing suite
Test web apps, web services and mobile back-ends. Rich reporting helps AppScan users effectively triage and resolve critical vulnerabilities, and continuously assess the security posture of the applications for compliance. - Handles complex use cases and application flows
AppScan users can tailor testing to suit the needs of most complex apps, by recording complex multi-step sequences, dynamically generating unique data and tracking a diverse set of headers and tokens. - Optimized testing for maximum impact with minimum effort
Test optimization algorithms deliver an optimal trade-off between speed and coverage, to enable faster scans with minimal impact on accuracy.
