Description

CAST Highlight is a rapid software intelligence platform that delivers portfolio-level insights in minutes, helping organizations understand the true condition and modernization readiness of their applications. It evaluates every codebase for technical debt, fragility, resiliency gaps, cloud blockers, open-source vulnerabilities, and IP risk using automated code scanning and industry benchmarks. The platform distinguishes between structural issues that require remediation and low-impact debt that can be safely tolerated, enabling smarter investment decisions. CAST Highlight automatically identifies ideal migration paths to cloud-native services, complete with estimated effort and blockers to address. It also evaluates software sustainability by tracing code inefficiencies and estimating related CO₂ impact, allowing teams to prioritize greener development choices. Security, compliance, and third-party component risks are surfaced within minutes, not months. With clear dashboards and board-ready reporting, executives can instantly quantify progress, validate architectures, and track transformation KPIs. CAST Highlight empowers enterprises to modernize faster, cut risk, and strategically steer their software portfolios with evidence—not assumptions.
