CAST Highlight enables
Ongoing reduction of maintenance costs and technical debt
Leaders have a single, integrated view of their portfolio. Based on facts and auto-recommendations, they can see where to lower maintenance costs, optimize resource allocation, reduce technical debt, rationalize redundancies, and avoid production outages.
Faster cloud migration and ongoing optimization
Cloud leaders automatically segment and prioritize applications for migration (5Rs) and optimization in cloud based on technical characteristics and business impact. They can instantly drill down to see what needs to change in the code and how, the estimated effort, and best-fit cloud native services.
Stronger control of open-source legal and security risks
Traditional SCA technology can be costly, hard to manage, and fatiguing to developers. CAST Highlight is operational in weeks across all applications. Security, architecture, and compliance teams get automatic recommendations on priority actions helping them focus on the most critical security vulnerabilities and IP licensing exposures. Without disrupting developers.
Greener
software
Green software development is emerging as the next logical step for enterprises to make their technology more sustainable and meet emerging requirements. CAST Highlight pinpoints green deficiencies in the code and how to address them to lower CO2 emissions, while improving costs, performance, and resiliency.
