- Cybersecurity systems, which protect government agencies from cyberattacks
- Data analytics systems, which help government agencies make better decisions by analyzing data

- Legacy systems that are outdated and difficult to maintain
- Security risks, such as cyberattacks
- Lack of skilled IT workers
