Breaking Free from Legacy Java: A Secure Modernization Strategy in 75 Minutes

The Challenge: Legacy Systems Cost Enterprises Billions

Across the financial services industry and beyond, organizations continue to depend on aging Java 8 systems—risking high maintenance costs, security vulnerabilities, and lost agility.

• 87% of banking IT budgets go toward maintaining legacy Java systems.
• 29–50% of banking applications still run on outdated Java versions.
• $57 billion in global maintenance costs expected annually by 2028.

Monolithic architectures slow innovation, making modernization harder each year as fintechs and cloud-native competitors release updates every few weeks.
