[1/2] Almost six months ago the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Jen Easterly, directed the Technical Advisory Council (TAC) of the Cybersecurity Advisory Council (CSAC) to answer six questions around Memory Safety to help the department understand the challenges and opportunities of Memory Safe Systems Languages such as Rust, Go, and Swift.
DL/DR: Memory Safe Systems Languages are becoming mature, hyper-scale companies are doing incremental rewrites, there are additional protections that should be used in non-memory safe languages such as c++, and you should start to develop your roadmap. Please read the report. 😎
Since the TAC started working, Memory Safety has become a hot topic, with the NSA joining CISA to release "The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps"
Last week the TAC submitted our final report at the quarterly public meeting and I'm pleased to link it here:
