Rust
Memory safety without garbage collection — the ideal language for security infrastructure
Why Rust for Security?
Approximately 70% of all security vulnerabilities are memory safety issues. Rust eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities at compile time — buffer overflows, use-after-free, data races — without the performance overhead of garbage collection.
Rust Advantages for ALGs
- Memory Safety — No buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences, or use-after-free bugs.
- Thread Safety — The type system prevents data races at compile time.
- Zero-Cost Abstractions — High-level code compiles to optimal machine code.
- No Runtime — Small binary size, fast startup, minimal attack surface.
- Fearless Concurrency — Safe handling of thousands of concurrent connections.
