CAST’s suite of products, as its vision states, helps enterprises understand how their applications work. CAST analytics reflect the true state of business systems by going beyond component-level analysis and examining architectural and structural complexities to provide clear and precise understanding of how individual components affect the whole system. This is called system-level analysis. System-level analysis, when applied at the build phase, helps developers make Grade-A software and prevent data corruption, breaches or embarrassing outages. Contextual software analysis significantly reduces the number of spurious findings flagged by traditional code checkers and can help find flaws that traditional application security and performance tools can’t catch: malicious code gaining forbidden access to data, lack of input validation and back doors.
