In an era where software is becoming increasingly important, and a single incident can lead to a company going bankrupt within 10 days, it is vital to minimize the risks (especially in the field of security) in the application portfolio. The applications within most portfolios, however, have been building technical debt for years, sometimes even decades, resulting in high costs and a high percentage of budget that must be spent on software management. During this seminar by CAST and METRI, we will explore how digital leaders can get an unprecedented visibility over their Software to make more informed decisions, reduce costs, detect security threats and ensure the safety and soundness of complex systems and software products.
