In their own words
HCL AppScan
HCL AppScan identifies and prioritizes software vulnerabilities and helps teams remediate them across the development lifecycle. It combines static, dynamic, interactive and open-source composition analysis for source code, running applications, APIs and dependencies. API security testing supports OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman and GraphQL, and can uncover shadow, zombie and undocumented APIs. HCL says its AI-powered analysis reduces false positives and helps prioritize critical risks. Deployment options include cloud and on-premises; Enterprise also lists private cloud. Integrations include CI systems, code repositories, issue-management services and developer tools such as Android Studio. CodeSweep is a free on-prem GitHub extension for pull-request SAST scanning, with support for more than 35 languages. AppScan Standard is designed for security experts and penetration testers assessing web applications and APIs, and supports specified 64-bit Windows versions. The 14-day trial allows five scans in total, one at a time, with a four-hour limit per scan. Its summary reports omit issue details and remediation tasks; private-site scanning, regulatory reports and IAST are also excluded.
New Relic IAST
New Relic IAST probes running application code for vulnerabilities that could be exploited, helping DevOps and security teams address risk through the software development lifecycle. Dynamic assessment simulates attacks and can provide proof of exploit without code changes. New Relic APM agents deliver the capability, which can be enabled with a configuration setting change; supported languages are Go, Java, Node.js, and Ruby. Guided remediation can identify the code location, stack trace, HTTP trace, encountered URLs, exploit mechanism, and parameters involved. IAST is integrated with New Relic Vulnerability Management for ongoing discovery, fixing, and verification of high-risk vulnerabilities. Findings receive severity scores using CVSS version 3, with Low, Medium, High, and Critical ranges. The tool supports authenticated and API testing, CI/CD pipelines, and ticketing systems. A free New Relic plan is available, but IAST analysis is billed through an optional Compute Add On based on Compute Capacity Units consumed during analysis. Pricing for other plans is available on request.
