Latest generation of CAST Highlight by CAST

LONDON, UK: CAST, the leader in software analysis and measurement, today announced the latest generation of its portfolio analysis platform, CAST Highlight, which expands the types of systems it can analyse, unlocking the power of portfolio analysis for companies large or small.

Now IT-dependent companies like banks, telcos, and retailers can rapidly inventory and analyse every application in their portfolio, gaining critical visibility while identifying the vulnerabilities behind the increasingly common outages and glitches.

With CIOs constantly fearing an outage or security breach and application developers stuck spending more time on maintenance than code quality, an increasing number of companies are searching for a quick and easy way to gain better understanding into the health and state of the IT portfolios.

Traditional application portfolio analysis solutions have proved far more complex, slow and costly, than originally expected. The main issues being the collecting and centralising of source code across multiple systems, CAST Highlight is designed to address this. Its low-cost SaaS model makes it 20 times cheaper than traditional enterprise software, without the need for costly hardware or licenses, and less disruptive for users, ready to deploy in minutes, from any location without the need to transfer source code.
