Securing the Public Sector in 2026: The Security Debt Crisis Demands Action Now

Veracode’s analysis of 1.6 million applications shows what government agencies and SLED organizations can do to reduce mounting security debt.

82% of organizations carry security debt – known vulnerabilities sitting unresolved for over a year – and critical security debt surged 20% in a single year, now hitting 60% of organizations. Nation-state actors, ransomware groups, and opportunistic attackers go after precisely this class of flaw: highly severe, highly exploitable, and sitting open. This report translates Veracode’s 2026 State of Software Security findings into a concrete framework for Federal agencies and SLED organizations to prioritize, remediate, and get ahead of the threats.
