What is CAST Highlight?

CAST Highlight is an automated portfolio analysis platform designed to give enterprises rapid, fact-based intelligence about the health, risks, and modernization readiness of their entire software landscape. In just a few hours, it builds a comprehensive picture of each application—revealing cloud maturity, resiliency weaknesses, technical debt density, and architectural risks across every technology stack. The platform uncovers open-source vulnerabilities, obsolete dependencies, licensing risks, and IP exposures that are often hidden deep inside complex systems. Its cloud migration analytics automatically pinpoint which applications are best suited for rehosting, replatforming, or refactoring, complete with recommended remediation steps. CAST Highlight also provides sustainability insights by measuring code inefficiencies and estimating their operational CO₂ footprint, helping teams advance green software initiatives. For teams managing large portfolios, it helps distinguish between high-impact issues that demand intervention and low-risk debt that can be strategically deferred. The platform’s dashboards and heatmaps give CIOs, architects, and engineering leaders instant clarity for modernization planning and budget allocation. CAST Highlight is also widely used for technical due diligence, providing objective indicators of software quality, maintainability, and long-term risk. Its rapid, non-intrusive scanning process ensures minimal disruption while delivering quantifiable, board-ready results. Ultimately, CAST Highlight equips organizations to modernize confidently, govern proactively, and transform faster with accurate, data-driven insight.
