The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have released their joint guide, Memory Safe Languages: Reducing Vulnerabilities in Modern Software Development.
“The document expands on recommendations for critical infrastructure organizations to implement to achieve better memory safety, such as language-level protections, library support, robust tooling, and developer training,” explains CISA.
The adoption memory safe languages (MSLs) is gaining momentum and is a central component of CISA’s Secure by Design program, which advocates for the integration of proactive security measures.
