Discover how bounds safety technologies in Xcode eliminate entire classes of out-of-bounds vulnerabilities in your existing C and C++ codebases. Learn how to use the C bounds safety extension with annotations like __counted_by to enforce bounds checking without breaking ABI compatibility. And explore how to enable C++ Safe Buffers and the hardened C++ Standard Library to protect production apps with minimal performance overhead.

This session was originally presented as part of the Meet with Apple event “Fortify your app: Essential strategies to strengthen security.” Watch the full video for more insights and related sessions.
