This whitepaper explains how U.S. government agencies can accelerate secure software development while achieving Authority to Operate faster and at scale. As agencies modernize their development practices, integrating security from the earliest stages of the software lifecycle has become critical. Building applications with security by design reduces the risk of vulnerabilities and minimizes delays caused by late-stage security findings. The paper highlights how aligning secure development practices with ATO requirements streamlines compliance and approval processes. By connecting DevSecOps principles with ATO workflows, agencies can reduce approval timelines, improve security outcomes, and support continuous delivery of mission-critical software while meeting strict federal security stand
