Rust is redefining how we think about software security. With its growing adoption across industries, Rust challenges the long-held belief that performance must come at the cost of safety. In this Speaker’s Corner, we’ll explore the hard numbers behind security vulnerabilities—and why Rust is uniquely positioned to address them.

Whether you're a low-level developer or just Rust-curious, this talk will give you insights (and maybe even the push) to rethink your toolbox.

We will talk about:

• Software security in numbers: what the stats really reveal 

• How to use modern languages without sacrificing performance

• Where Rust is already being applied (and what’s next)

• What the evolution of programming languages means for your career
