Global security agencies push for memory safe roadmaps to address software vulnerabilities, boost cybersecurity

The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps

Memory safety vulnerabilities, common and exploited by hackers, necessitate frequent updates and patches. Despite efforts in code analysis, patching, and training by software companies, these issues remain. Switching to Memory Safe Programming Languages (MSLs) could resolve these vulnerabilities, lessening the need for extensive security actions and providing long-term benefits, albeit with initial migration costs.
