HCL AppScan Standard Re-Imagined
HCL AppScan Standard is evolving, offering a better user experience, new features, and the same exceptional DAST scanning engine. For the last two years, our team has worked tirelessly to reimagine HCL AppScan standard and bring you the product you love with better performance and new capabilities.
AppScan standard has been a market-leading DAST solution for the last 20 years, offering a vast number of capabilities. Now it’s time to add a redesigned main view, actions, and menu. As we transition to the final updated version of AppScan Standard, some screens will remain in the current layout. However, we will continue to revamp this journey in upcoming releases.
To ensure the best version is released, we encourage existing HCL AppScan customers to take part in our new AppScan Standard TechPreview. Selected existing HCL AppScan users can play an important role in the app’s development by testing these new experimental features before they’re released and providing invaluable feedback.
