"Rust: The Secure Solution for Software Development, Say Five Eyes Agencies"

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) is urging business and technical leaders to prioritize memory safety in software development, as memory safety errors often lead to significant damage. CISA, along with other cyber security authorities, is calling on software manufacturers to implement memory safe languages (MSLs) and create memory safe roadmaps to eliminate vulnerabilities. The move comes after a year of criticism towards C/C++ and praise for memory safe languages like Rust. Microsoft has committed $10 million to Rust tooling, and CISA advises organizations to move away from C/C++ due to the prevalence of memory safety vulnerabilities, even with training. CISA suggests using languages like C#, Go, Java, Python, Rust, and Swift for memory safe code.
