CAST Highlight - How it works

Secure, Simple and Lightning Fast

No centralized code repository? Application owners distributed around the world? Confidentiality or security concerns related to the source code?

No problem…

No hassle code analysis, no deployment process or infrastructure needed. Just these 3 steps to get unprecedented insight into your application portfolio

Today…

Distributed and Light Speed Analysis

Executive sponsor sends email communication to all project leads with context and simple instructions. Project leads or application owners download a code reader, run it against their code locally, and answer a few questions. For continuous monitoring, the code reader integrates within your CI/CD environment through a command line. Hundreds of project leaders can complete the process simultaneously in minutes.

Step 1

Source code is read automatically from repositories with predefined frequency.

Upload Encrypted Results into Private, Secure Cloud

Upload an encrypted analysis results file to our portal. CAST Highlight is compliant with the highest regulations, standards, and best practices in security (ISO 27001). And again, no source code is transferred by this process.
See our Data Security FAQ for more detail.

Step 2

Encrypted intelligence is uploaded to secure cloud (27001-certified). No code leaves premises.

Unprecedented Management Insight

CAST Highlight uses your survey responses to contextualize the source code-based intelligence to instantly generate dashboards and analytics (heat maps, charts, tiles, etc.)
Bring data and facts to your app modernization, IT budgeting, open source risk management, cloud migration and application portfolio rationalization decisions. These metrics can also be consumed in your organization by our public API.

Step 3

Instant visibility via customizable dashboard, drilldowns, recommendations. API-based data integration.
