The New Stack·3y5 Software Security Goals All CTOs Should Prioritize
When software is developed with security gaps, there is a risk that it can be exploited by cyberattacks. A design with a good separation of concerns will perform well, keep the application security code simple and ensure that security behavior is easy to extend. A zero trust architecture should be used to protect against both external and internal threats.
The New Stack·3yRust Makes Us Better Programmers
Rust makes for a better development experience, enhances safety and increases program speed. To understand why Rust is so popular, we need to consider why we invented compilers and programming languages in the first place. In the case of other popular languages like Python, Rust programs run up to 20 times faster, according to the Programming Language Benchmark.
