    Safety is an increasingly discussed topic in relation to programming and often little or misunderstood. With organisations like the NSA and NIST recommending developers move away from memory unsafe languages (such as C & C++), there is a lot of uncertainty in the air about what this means for current programing practices. With a focus on the audio industry, are we even exposed to any of these risks? In this talk we look at the different types of safety, including memory and functional safety, and how these relate to security. We see what risks we might be exposed to and […]
