How to Create a SAST Scan | HCL AppScan on Cloud | Episode 2

Learn how to execute a SAST scan with HCL AppScan on Cloud using AppScan Go, HCL’s desktop client for packaging and uploading local source code, bytecode, and dependencies for analysis. In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure application security testing for local applications, enable SCA and secret detection, select scan targets, optimise scan speed with customisable rules, and use Personal Scans for isolated validation before results are aggregated. Whether you’re working to improve application security on cloud or to strengthen your overall cloud application security strategy, this walkthrough illustrates a practical way to discover vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle. Key topics covered: • Initiating a SAST scan in HCL AppScan on Cloud • Using AppScan Go to package local code and WAR files • Enabling SCA and secret scanning • Managing scan targets and exclusions • Adjusting scan speed and detection rules • Using Personal Scans for sandboxed testing Learn more about HCL AppScan: https://hclsw.co/40tzo6 Documentation for AppScan Family of Products: https://hclsw.co/gvqd9t #HCLAppScan #HCLSoftware #Cybersecurity #SAST #StaticAnalysis
