IBM Security AppScan, previously known as IBM Rational AppScan, is a family of web security testing and monitoring tools from the Rational Software division of IBM. AppScan is intended to test Web applications for security vulnerabilities during the development process, when it is least expensive to fix such problems. The product learns the behavior of each application, whether an off-the-shelf application or internally developed, and develops a program intended to test all of its functions for both common and application-specific vulnerabilities.

- IBM Rational® AppScan® Enterprise Edition software offers advanced application security testing and risk management with a platform that drives governance, collaboration and security intelligence throughout the application life cycle. With this strategic approach to application security and risk management.
History[edit]
AppScan was originally developed by Israeli software company Sanctum Ltd. (which was initially named Perfecto Technologies) and was first released in 1998.[1] In 1999 Sanctum expanded its web security offering and launched one of the world's first Application firewall, named AppShield.[2] The first version of AppScan was developed by a team led by Gili Raanan, and was running on a dedicated Linux server.
AppScan version 2 was released in February 2001, adding policy recognition engine and knowledge database, an automatic and customizable crawler engine and attack simulator.[3] Version 3 was released in April 2002, adding collaborative testing capabilities, where different tasks can be assigned to different testers; and a number of user interface enhancements in both the scanning and reporting sections of the program.[4] By 2003 AppScan was used by over 500 enterprise customers and revenues reached $30m.[5]
In July 2004, Sanctum was acquired by Massachusetts based company Watchfire, which developed a web applications management platform named WebXM. AppScan became Watchfire's flagship product and Sanctum's R&D center in Herzliya, Israel, became Watchfire's main R&D location.[5]
In June 2007, Watchfire was acquired by IBM and incorporated into the Rational Software product line, enabling IBM to cover more of the application development lifecycle; with an addition of a tool to help developers make security intrinsic to the application.[6]Watchfire R&D center was incorporated into IBM R&D Labs in Israel.[7]
In 2009 IBM acquired Ounce Labs, adding to the AppScan line a tool that finds and corrects vulnerabilities in software source code during the development process, which was renamed AppScan Source Edition.[8]
In June 2019, HCL acquired select IBM collaboration, commerce, digital experience, AppScan and BigFix solutions.[9][10]
