Government agencies are modernizing how they build, test, and deploy software—with DevSecOps at the center of that transformation. The trend report DevSecOps for the Future of Government IT explores how public sector teams are embedding security into every stage of the development lifecycle while improving agility, compliance, and collaboration.
PTaaS: From Annual Tests to Real-Time Insights
Traditional penetration testing can’t keep pace with agile sprints or fast-changing threat landscapes. Synack’s PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) model delivers continuous testing with real-time dashboards, vulnerability triage, and integration into existing workflows. Agencies benefit from faster feedback loops, reduced manual effort, and clearer remediation paths.
Continuous ATO with Real-Time Compliance Data
Lengthy Authority to Operate (ATO) processes are being reimagined with Continuous ATO strategies. Project Hosts highlights how real-time compliance dashboards and automated documentation reduce approval timelines, support Zero Trust mandates, and simplify reporting across FedRAMP and DoD environments.
Integrated Platforms and Smarter Workflows
Siloed tools and teams slow innovation. Atlassian emphasizes the value of integrating Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms—creating seamless workflows, traceability, and shared visibility across development, security, and operations. These integrations are foundational to achieving mission-aligned DevSecOps maturity.
The Future Is Automated, Auditable, and Secure
DevSecOps is no longer a niche approach—it’s essential for delivering secure, resilient government systems. The report makes clear that automation, real-time monitoring, and cross-team collaboration aren’t just best practices—they’re requirements for building trust in today’s digital government services.
