Reduce open source risks

OSS risks are all over the place. Now, see them all in one place.

“70% of applications use open-source components with legal, security, and obsolescence risks”

Gartner

The challenge

Even as companies work to cut OSS intellectual property and security risks, they are incurring new costs with training, IDE plugin deployments, and “alert fatigue” imposed on developers. Managing the volume and variety of issues calls for a centralized approach, but traditional Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools are complicated and costly, often taking years to roll out.

Enter CAST

CAST provides a single command center to identify, track, and prioritize open source risks. Plugging into source code, CAST understands applications and their context, finding IP and security exposures without disrupting developers. CAST then prioritizes recommendations, detailing the pathways to safer alternatives.

IP controls for use in legal disputes

Take charge

  • Plugs directly into code repositories, with no need to train all developers or roll out plugins on their desktops.
  • Go live within days, bringing hundreds of applications into full view.
  • Command and control using maps purpose-built for portfolio governance.
Take charge

See it all

  • Scans across the portfolio, understanding each part and the whole.
  • Spots which applications are at risk and correlates them to business criticality.
  • Probes for the use of unsafe and outdated components, including those assumed to be long-eliminated (e.g. log4j).
See it all

Secure the legal perimeter

  • Continuously monitors applications for open-source intellectual property and licensing exposures.
  • Delivers a centralized view, with no need to rely on reports from individual developers.
  • Can be tapped for legal disputes to demonstrate IP controls and vigilance.
Secure the legal perimeter

Spot unreported threats

  • Surpasses traditional SCA products that rely solely on National Vulnerabilities Database (NVD) listings.
  • Proactively evaluates most popular open-source projects to surface potential future vulnerabilities.
  • Mitigate weaknesses weeks ahead of NVD appearance.
