So, why is this so hard?

Traditional approaches to implementing SCA are often challenging:

Slow and Cumbersome Rollout

It can take months or even years to successfully deploy enterprise wide SCA across all applications.

Increasingly Complicated and Expensive

Integration into environments, IDE plugins for every developer, training multiple teams create complexity and significant cost.

Compounding Developer "Alert Fatigue"

Requiring every developer to be vigilant and creating more alerts slows down developers.

Ultimately, open source risks can get lost in the noise and ignored.
But, there is a smarter approach to SCA…

CAST Highlight

OSS control tower across all your applications, without disrupting developers.

Operational
in weeks

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

Generate or import
SBOM

Automatically generates (SBOM), including licenses, versions and security vulnerabilities. Exports available in various formats including industry standards such as CycloneDX, Word, Excel, PPT, XML, and REST API. See a sample SBOM

Automated
recommendations

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

Identifies emerging
vulnerabilities

CAST’s exclusive “MRI for software” technology analyzes the source code of ever-changing most common open-source components intercepting emerging vulnerabilities (open source CWEs) months before traditional SCA products can.
