HCLSoftware has announced the launch of HCL AppScan 360º version 2.0, a next-generation application security platform designed to help organizations manage open-source risk, regulatory pressure, and data sovereignty challenges. The platform delivers a powerful, cloud-native solution that enables enterprises to secure their applications without compromising visibility, compliance, or sovereignty. With the increasing adoption of open-source software and tightening global data regulations, HCL AppScan 360º provides a comprehensive solution to help organizations regain control over their software supply chains.
The platform addresses the fragility of software supply chains and the lack of visibility many organizations have into their own codebases. It provides high-density Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, enabling organizations to track vulnerabilities and control where and how their data is stored and processed. HCL AppScan 360º also delivers full-stack application security testing, including DAST, SAST, IAST, SCA, API, IaC, and secrets, all within a secure, on-prem or sovereign cloud environment.
The new release adds core technologies to the platform, creating a full suite of AI-enabled testing and remediation tools. Key capabilities include real-time open-source vulnerability detection, automated SBOM creation, deployment flexibility in air-gapped or sovereign environments, and correlation to prove exploitability and confirm fixes. By providing up-to-the-minute open-source visibility and AI-enablement, HCL AppScan 360º empowers security teams to move from reactive firefighting to proactive governance.
The platform also helps organizations build trust with customers and partners by providing a secure and localized solution. With data sovereignty becoming a business differentiator, HCL AppScan 360º enables organizations to store and process data within their home country, addressing regulatory compliance and customer preferences. Overall, HCL AppScan 360º version 2.0 is a comprehensive solution that helps organizations manage open-source risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain data sovereignty, ultimately empowering them to secure their applications and build trust with their customers and partners.
