What AppScan is
An application security platform for people who ship faster than they can review: deterministic detection, one finding per problem, AI only where you ask for it.
AppScan watches an application you already built. It scans the live site from its URL, reads the repository behind it when you connect one, and answers four questions on your behalf: is my app safe right now, what should I fix first, did my latest change make things better or worse, and has a new vulnerability appeared in something I use.
It is built for solo builders, AI-assisted developers, freelancers, agencies and small product teams. You should never need to know what SAST, DAST, CVSS, CWE, SBOM or taint analysis mean in order to use it - although every one of those details is there when you open a finding.
What it does
- Runs 249 deterministic rules over your live site, a real browser recording, your source, your lockfiles and your deploy files - 110 of them without an account.
- Correlates what it saw at runtime with the code that caused it, so one problem is one finding.
- Classifies every push and gives every pull request a verdict against its base branch.
- Explains and fixes findings with AI when you ask, priced in credits you can see beforehand.
What it is not
- It is not one large AI pass over your repository. Detection is deterministic and repeatable.
- It is not a penetration test. It reads; it does not attack, exploit, or write anything.
- It is not a compliance certificate. It produces evidence you can use in a questionnaire, not an audit opinion.
- It is not an agent you install. Nothing runs inside your infrastructure.
If you have five minutes, run the free scan on a URL you already deployed. It needs no account and the report arrives by email.
Questions
Do I need to know security to use AppScan?
No. Every finding is written in five plain answers - what is wrong, why it matters, how it would be abused, how to fix it and how the fix gets verified - before any jargon appears. Technical detail is one click away when you want it.
Is AppScan a penetration test?
No. A scan performs reads an anonymous visitor could perform. It never exploits anything, never writes, and never logs in. A pen test is a person actively trying to break in, which is a different exercise with a different scope.
Does it replace a security engineer?
No, and it does not try to. It does the part that is mechanical and endless - watching every push, every dependency and every header - so that a person’s time goes on the judgement calls.
