Case Study: Dedalus achieves rapid, comprehensive open-source risk governance with CAST Highlight (CAST)

Dedalus governs open-source risks in a fraction of the time it previously took

Dedalus is a global healthcare software company with over 40 years’ experience serving 6,700 healthcare organizations through a portfolio that grew to more than 200 applications. With diverse technologies, geographically dispersed platforms and extensive use of third‑party/open‑source libraries, Dedalus needed a faster, centralized way to identify and prioritize security, legal and obsolescence risks to support a sustainable technology transformation.

Dedalus deployed CAST Highlight across 50+ strategic applications as an automated “control tower” for Software Composition Analysis and SBOM generation, enabling rapid inventory and risk insights. In a few weeks they developed a comprehensive remediation plan guided by the tool’s Portfolio Advisor, gaining visibility over 2,000+ components, lowering compliance and security risk, achieving cost savings from component rationalization, and using cloud maturity insights to plan ongoing modernization.
