DHS ICE case study

Modernization at scale.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) needed to evolve a fragmented, legacy IT environment into a secure, high-performing foundation capable of supporting complex federal operations. Mobomo partnered with ICE to transition critical systems into streamlined, automated, and secure cloud environments built for long-term growth.

Mobomo + DHS

At a glance.

How Mobomo and the Department of Homeland Security worked together.
  • Transitioned legacy systems into secure AWS and Azure GovCloud environments
  • Implemented Infrastructure-as-Code to standardize provisioning and reduce drift
  • Containerized applications to improve scalability and portability
  • Automated CI/CD pipelines to accelerate delivery
  • Strengthened identity and Zero Trust security controls
  • Modernized IT service workflows to streamline operations
the challenge

Reimagining operational governance.

ICE operated across distributed environments shaped by years of incremental growth. Systems were siloed, environments varied widely, and governance processes required manual oversight. Scaling new capabilities was slow, and maintaining compliance across mission-critical systems demanded significant effort.

The agency needed a path forward that preserved operational continuity while introducing stronger automation, security alignment, and architectural consistency.

the solution

Enterprise-wide consistency.

Mobomo led a phased infrastructure transformation designed to introduce standardization, automation, and stronger security controls across ICE’s IT ecosystem.

Meaningful impact

Built for continuity. Ready for change.

Modernizing infrastructure is not just about new platforms. It is about reducing operational risk, strengthening accountability, and creating an IT environment that can evolve without disruption. Through strategic cloud adoption, automation, and security alignment, ICE gained a foundation that supports long-term mission execution while adapting to emerging federal standards and operational demands.

Operational stability at enterprise scale

Standardized environments and automated provisioning reduced inconsistencies across systems, enabling more predictable performance and smoother deployments across mission-critical applications.

Stronger governance & security alignment

Modern identity management, Zero Trust controls, and infrastructure standardization improved visibility and compliance posture across the IT ecosystem.

A foundation designed for evolution

By introducing automation and containerized architectures, ICE is positioned to adopt future capabilities without large-scale rework or disruption to daily operations.

Modernization is not a destination. It’s momentum. By strengthening ICE’s infrastructure foundation, we helped create an IT environment built to move with mission demands - securely, reliably, and at scale.
