The US White House Office of the National Cyber Director indicated that programmers should shift to memory-safe programming languages to eliminate software vulnerabilities.
Neal Ziring from the NSA stated that memory management issues are heavily exploited and using memory safe languages is essential to combat threats from malicious actors.
Experts indicate that despite advancements, programming languages like C and C++ are still prevalent in critical systems but lack memory safety traits, increasing vulnerabilities.
