Products Database | Knowledge Base

^{Last updated:}^2025-09-30

Purpose

This article provides users with an overview of Products in Catalog.

Introduction

The document provides an overview of OUTSCAN™/HIAB products, detailing asset links, product information, and communication with the Outpost24® Appsec team. It highlights that the Products view can be accessed without an Appsec subscription, although it will be empty. Users can find linked products under Findings > Catalog > Products, where clicking on a product reveals a detailed view, including product information, URLs, and end-of-life (EOL) details. Additionally, users can post comments and communicate with the Appsec team, but initiating discussions requires an active subscription. Various columns provide specific product information, such as CPE versions, unique identifiers, and update timestamps.
