Smarter, Simpler Approach to Software Composition Analysis

Open Source "Control Tower" Operational in Weeks

Plugs directly into source code repositories and automatically aggregates the results of the analysis across all applications into intuitive dashboards - the “control tower”, allowing legal, security, and operations experts to make informed decisions engaging developers only when needed.

Built-in Portfolio Advisor for Open Source

Automatically prioritizes actions for the most severe licensing and security risks, based on the business impact of each application. Guides legal, security, and software experts on which alternative components are safer to use within the context of their application portfolio.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

Uses CAST’s exclusive “MRI for Software” to automatically analyze the source code of most popular open-source components that are constantly changing, enabling organizations to intercept emerging vulnerabilities (open source CWEs) months before traditional SCA products can.

Much Lower Cost

Annual subscription from $20,000 to $240,000 for 25 to 1000 applications, regardless of number of developers. This enterprise-wide view approach allows CAST to bring open-source risks control to the market at a much lower cost than traditional SCA products.
