Government agencies struggle to modernize legacy systems while maintaining security compliance during DevSecOps implementation

Federal agencies like HUD have critical legacy software systems that lack modern security practices and DevSecOps capabilities, creating compliance risks and operational inefficiencies. Current in-house teams lack the specialized expertise to simultaneously implement DevSecOps practices, modernize outdated codebases, and maintain security standards required for government operations. This forces agencies to contract expensive external vendors at $1M+ per project because the complexity of government security requirements, legacy system constraints, and DevSecOps transformation exceeds internal capability.
