How can developers minimize disruption caused by unpatched vulnerabilities?

In this RunSafe Security Minute, Katie, Senior Software Engineer at RunSafe, dives into how developers can reduce disruption from unpatched vulnerabilities. She explores essential memory safety practices and effective vulnerability identification methods, revealing how RunSafe Protect strengthens your software’s resilience against memory-based attacks while maintaining performance.

How to Minimize Disruption from Unpatched Vulnerabilities with Memory Safety Practices

In this RunSafe Security Minute, Katie tackles a common challenge in software development: reducing the disruption caused by unpatched vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities can lead to costly downtime, delays, and security risks, especially when left unaddressed. Katie walks through essential memory safety practices, such as secure coding and vulnerability identification techniques, which developers can apply to minimize these risks.

She explains how tools like RunSafe Protect are designed to strengthen security against memory-based exploits, as 70% of serious security bugs are memory safety problems. By relocating software functions in memory, RunSafe Protect mitigates these vulnerabilities without altering code or impacting performance, giving developers a proactive edge in maintaining software resilience and operational efficiency. With RunSafe’s technology, developers can shift their focus from constant firefighting to building robust, secure applications that stand resilient against both known and emerging threats.
