Google's initiative to adopt memory-safe software practices has drastically decreased Android vulnerabilities due to memory safety, showing effective risk reduction through Safe Coding.
The percentage of Android vulnerabilities from memory safety issues decreased from 76% in 2019 to a projected 24% by 2024, significantly below the industry average.
The introduction of Safe Coding practices has enabled stronger assertions about code properties, moving away from traditional reliance on mitigations and predictive methods.
Transitioning to memory safe languages like Rust, Go, and others has been pivotal in addressing memory vulnerabilities, which are prevalent due to manual memory management in C/C++.
