The NSA and CISA published a cybersecurity information sheet in 2022 recommending that developers move to memory-safe languages. It was updated in 2023, then again in June 2025. These reports sparked extensive global discussion about the use of memory-safe languages in critical software. Other regulations, such as the European Cyber Resilience Act, do not explicitly mention technologies like memory safety but instead focus on higher-level concepts such as 'state-of-the-art' and 'secure-by-design'.

The code battle between Rust and C feels like it’s been heating up all year, and some folks are starting to pick a winner, at least in particular cases. Rust and C can both offer good performance and control for embedded hardware and systems, but the differences seem to end there.

AdaCore and CodeSecure have agreed on a merger arrangement. It will develop an incorporated company dedicated to enhancing software safety, security, and consistency across various markets. AdaCore will share its knowledge in efficient software development for defense, aerospace, rail, and automotive applications. CodeSecure is to include its application security testing, such as advanced static analysis abilities that identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in embedded systems.
