"The only way to achieve true security in software is through the use of memory-safe languages, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities arising from memory mishandling."
"C and C++ may be powerful, but without careful handling and best practices, they pose significant risks and vulnerabilities, especially with memory safety."
The US CISA and NSA have released guidance emphasizing the critical importance of adopting memory-safe programming languages, citing that languages like Rust and Go inherently prevent memory-related vulnerabilities. C and C++ are highlighted for their lack of built-in memory safety, making them more prone to errors unless extremely diligent practices are followed. Major reports indicate that a significant portion of software vulnerabilities are linked to memory safety issues, underscoring a pressing need for change in how software is developed and managed.
