Why government

Why government applications need runtime security

Government applications hold citizen data and run critical public services, often on legacy systems with IT teams stretched thin. That combination opens two blind spots traditional security never closes.

    Legacy systems, modern attackers

    Public sector software runs for years, sometimes decades, on infrastructure that is hard to patch and hard to see into. Attackers know it. When an exploit hits a citizen-facing service in production, agencies often find out long after the damage is done.

    Thousands of CVEs, no signal

    Your scanners flag thousands of vulnerabilities and none of them tell you which are reachable in a system that serves the public. Public sector security teams, under-resourced by design, burn weeks chasing findings that were never exploitable.

    ByteHide

    Real attacks, real code, where public services run

    ByteHide is a platform built around runtime security. It does not compete with the scanner you already run. It does that work too, then validates every finding against what actually executes in production. SAST and SCA find the candidates. Runtime proves which ones are real, blocks the exploits, and logs the evidence your compliance team needs.

The numbers

The threat is accelerating

Government is the most attacked sector in the world, and the data from 2026 shows the pressure rising.

  • 19%

    Government and administrative systems are the most targeted sector globally, taking 19% of all attacks.

    QBE / Cobalt 2026

  • +65%

    Ransomware incidents against government bodies rose 65% year over year.

    Trend Micro 2026

  • $1.09B

    525 ransomware attacks hit government entities between 2018 and 2024, causing an estimated 1.09 billion dollars in downtime.

How ByteHide protects government

One engine. Two contexts.

Built for how government software is built today

Government development has changed. Your applications now embed AI, and your team now builds with AI. ByteHide secures both sides of that shift, the software you ship and the way you ship it.

Book a demo

Your government application at runtime

Your citizen portals, public service platforms, and agency APIs run protected from inside the live code. When your application uses AI to assist citizens or process requests, ByteHide secures those interactions in real time. This is application security, runtime-first.

What you gain

What public sector teams gain with ByteHide

Public sector teams are under-resourced by design. Runtime security is how you close the gap without multiplying the team.

  • 01

    Protect citizen trust

    Public services run on public trust. ByteHide gives you proof citizen data is defended, not just policies that say it should be.

Compliance

Built for FedRAMP and ENS compliance

Government software runs under strict authorization frameworks. ByteHide helps your team prepare for and work toward FedRAMP and ENS by turning runtime into compliance evidence, so you know where your applications stand and can show it.

Share reports with your team, your auditors, or your authorizing body in a few clicks. Cut the friction of every review.
1.Application-layer control evidence aligned to FedRAMP.
2.ENS compliance reporting.
3.Audit trails for every access to citizen data.
4.Runtime detection and response logs.
5.AI interaction monitoring for the models inside your apps.
6.Real-time alerts on policy violations.

The platform

Application security testing,
end to end

The platform around your runtime engine. SAST, secrets, shielding, and audit, unified and government-ready.

  • Static analysis with every finding validated against runtime reachability.
  • Software composition analysis with CVE prioritization based on what executes.
  • AI-assisted autofix for the findings that actually matter.

Customer story

How a government agency moved from legacy tools to runtime security

A government agency running citizen-facing services across web and mobile came to ByteHide with a familiar problem. Their security stack was a set of older tools that took heavy configuration to maintain and still left gaps. Static analysis ran, but every finding landed on a small team with no way to know which ones mattered. And in production, where citizen data was handled, they had little real visibility.

They started with runtime. ByteHide gave their team a live dashboard of what was happening inside their running applications, and within that view they saw what their previous tools had missed: real exploitation attempts, including zero-day activity their scanners had never flagged. ByteHide did not just surface those attacks. It blocked them in production, in real time.

From there, the change went deeper. ByteHide began feeding what runtime observed back into code analysis, so the same zero-day intelligence reached developers as concrete fixes. The agency replaced its legacy code analysis with ByteHide's, and for the first time their developers were fixing the vulnerabilities that runtime proved were real, without a rip-and-replace of their long-lived systems.

The result was not one metric. It was a different way of working: faster detection, sharper prioritization, real-time protection where public services run, and a single platform instead of a stack of disconnected tools. One place for an under-resourced team, their applications, and their compliance evidence.

Why ByteHide

Why public sector teams choose ByteHide

Most government security stacks are a pile of tools that scan, alert, and never agree. ByteHide is built differently.

Government security questions, answered

How does ByteHide help government apps with FedRAMP and ENS?
ByteHide generates runtime evidence for application-layer controls and produces the audit trails authorization reviews expect. It helps your team prepare for and build toward FedRAMP and ENS. It does not grant authorization or replace your certification process.
Can ByteHide protect citizen-facing public service apps?
Yes. Public service apps run on citizen devices and networks you don't control. ByteHide adds code obfuscation, anti-tamper, and runtime protection that defend the app once it ships, across web and mobile.
Does ByteHide replace my existing SAST or SCA scanner?
It can. ByteHide includes SAST and SCA, and validates every finding against runtime reachability. If you already run a scanner, ByteHide works alongside it and tells you which findings are actually exploitable in production.
How does ByteHide secure AI features in government applications?
When your application uses AI to assist citizens or process requests, ByteHide monitors those interactions at runtime and detects prompt injection and abuse, the same engine that protects the rest of your code.
Does ByteHide work with legacy government systems?
Yes. ByteHide runs in-process with no proxies or infrastructure changes, so it protects long-lived applications without the rip-and-replace that public sector modernization usually requires.
How does ByteHide help with breach detection and incident reporting?
ByteHide detects and blocks exploitation attempts in production in real time, and logs every event with the trail your team needs for incident reporting and authorization reviews.
