A major European transportation company faced challenges in managing security and obsolescence risks across its diverse portfolio of custom applications that used open-source software. Their reactive approach was disrupting product roadmaps and increasing cyberattack risks. They needed better visibility to safeguard their critical IT infrastructure and turned to CAST, using its CAST Highlight product for automated Software Composition Analysis.

CAST implemented its solution as an open-source 'control tower,' onboarding 114 applications in just two weeks and integrating it into the client's CI/CD pipeline. This provided automated insights and a global view of the entire application portfolio. As a result, the company experienced a significant reduction in security risks and obsolete components, leading to more resilient software systems and more agile development teams.
