Why CHERI?
CHERI is an open cybersecurity technology that protects systems against the most common type of vulnerabilities, those related to memory-safety.
Once integrated in the hardware, it offers a strong protection to the software running on the system, without having to rewrite your code.
At SEMICON Europa / Electronica, see CHERI in action, meet the people building it and discover what it could mean for your next product.
Security that starts in the hardware
CHERI is built into processors to give software much finer control over access to memory, helping protect against memory-safety vulnerabilities.
And CHERI isn't only about chips. It reaches across the technology stack:
- Silicon - Processor IP and chips
- Boards - Platforms to build, test and evaluate
- Software - Operating systems, compilers, tools and applications - all optimised for CHERI
- Products - More secure systems built with CHERI
CHERI brings the strongest foundation for memory safety and compartmentalisation, at a much lower cost than software-based security solutions.
