IEEE CyberSecurity Report: Building Code for Power System Software Security

I thought this was an interesting recommendation...

"Memory-safe languages can eliminate or substantially reduce the likelihood of many classes of coding errors that have often led to exploitable vulnerabilities. These include buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences, use-after-free errors, and references to uninitialized memory. Rust and Go are relatively recent memory-safe languages; others include F#, C#, Python, and Haskell. Developers who select other common languages (e.g., C, C++) that don’t provide memory safety need to provide evidence that their implementations avoid these problems." (pg. 12)
