For the first time ever, Congress has included memory safety in a law, requiring the National Cyber Director to study memory safety in the Federal government. The omnibus, which this was included in, is expected to pass this week. Proud to have worked on this provision while in the Senate!

@jackhcable trying again, less snarkily this time: what does this do that isn’t already going on at the National Cyber Directorate? Is there new funding attached, or new urgency as a result of this?
