The Product Security Best Practices report emphasizes that software manufacturers should abandon memory-unsafe programming languages, particularly C/C++, to minimize risks associated with national security.
The report indicates that while it does not impose mandatory rules, following its guidelines demonstrates a commitment to customer security, enhancing trust and signaling care in security outcomes.
CISA and the FBI highlight a clear risk in using memory-unsafe programming languages, calling them 'dangerous' as they increase vulnerabilities that could be exploited by threat actors.
Manufacturers are encouraged to adopt safer programming practices, particularly in critical infrastructure software, to comply with approaching guidelines on memory safety by the deadline of January 1, 2026.
