As the burgeoning WebAssembly ecosystem
continues to gain momentum, Fastly increases its open source
contributions to the secure-by-default tool of choice for
developers.
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a global edge cloud platform
provider, has expanded its investments in the WebAssembly
ecosystem, reinforcing its belief that this emerging technology
unlocks a more performant, secure, and flexible future for
delivering websites and applications. In pursuit of this
collaborative mission, Fastly has joined the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) and will participate in the WebAssembly Working
Group, and continues its contributions to the newly-incorporated
Bytecode Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to creating a new, more
secure software ecosystem. Led by Fastly's WebAssembly team, the
evolution of Cranelift's secure sandboxing is one example of the
Bytecode Alliance’s commitment to fostering more secure software
development.
WebAssembly’s secure-by-design future fuels growing
popularity
Today’s predominant supply chain models for building software
come with inherent weaknesses, which have played significant roles
in helping attackers breach critical infrastructure and gain access
to billions of people’s personal information. The ecosystem the
Bytecode Alliance aims to build, leveraging WebAssembly and other
standards and community efforts, will resolve potentially dangerous
shortcomings in execution semantics and sandboxed environments
within the software supply chain, addressing development gaps in
trust and data integrity. This secure-by-default trait has made
WebAssembly’s encompassing infrastructure and other emerging
standards, such as the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI),
progressively popular with organizations and developers that need
to deliver safe, performant software across platforms and devices,
and to protect against increasingly detrimental system and supply
chain vulnerabilities.
“Fastly believes it’s absolutely vital to give developers access
to technology that makes it easy and safe to build applications in
the languages they are familiar with, using the tools they are
comfortable using, and then running that code on the Fastly edge
and other environments where performance and security are
non-negotiable,” said Tyler McMullen, CTO of Fastly. “Our work with
the Bytecode Alliance and W3C further validates our commitment to
industry collaboration that makes more secure, performant edge
computing and software development an industry-wide reality.”
Fastly spearheads evolution of critical sandboxing and
runtime technology
Investment in open source and cross-industry collaboration is
vital to improving the security and performance of the internet for
everyone. Alongside Bytecode Alliance members, Fastly’s WebAssembly
team has specifically prioritized contributing to Wasmtime, a
WebAssembly runtime, and Cranelift, an open-source, next-generation
code generator for use in WebAssembly to provide sandbox security
functionality. Cranelift’s advanced security controls -- separately
verified by rigorous Fastly, Mozilla, and Bytecode Alliance
assessments -- are crucial to the speedy yet secure-by-design
technology that underlies Fastly’s serverless compute solution
Compute@Edge, and is uniquely suited
to help power a more secure ecosystem for all who work with,
collaborate on, and contribute to WebAssembly.
Fastly and its Bytecode Alliance partners are committed to
WebAssembly as a mission-critical technology that enables an
interoperable software community, where organizations rally around
shared foundations. To learn more about the Bytecode Alliance and
