Security and integration: legacy platforms can't keep up

Security and integration requirements have evolved faster than legacy platforms can naturally keep up. Legacy platforms rarely fail all at once: they gradually fall behind the operational, architectural and cybersecurity expectations of modern organizations.

Today's enterprises need identity federation, fine-grained access control, API-first integration, observability, auditability, support for DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-ready deployment models. Organizations often compensate with custom code, workarounds and disconnected security controls, which means more complexity, more technical debt and a harder modernization path later.
