A new ETSI standard could rewrite the memory-safety debate
Mike Eftimakis – CHERI Alliance ETSI TS 104 198 establishes a common language for memory safety Memory-safety vulnerabilities remain one of the largest sources of critical software vulnerabilities. Despite years of investment in safer languages, hardware protections, and secure development practices, the industry has lacked a common way to define and compare memory-safety technologies. That […]
Combatting the AI threat with CHERI
In 2025 alone, global cybercrime costs reached an estimated $1.2 billion every minute, with projections rising to $1.8 billion per minute by 2029. Just seven years earlier, the figure was “only” $100 million per minute—already enormous, but now eclipsed by today’s scale.

ICENI: First Look
For more than a decade, CHERI research has demonstrated that hardware enforced memory safety can eliminate entire classes of security vulnerabilities. Much of this work has taken place in simulators and FPGA platforms, enabling researchers and developers to experiment with capability based architectures before production hardware became available. The CHERIoT project extends these principles to […]
The Capable Hub joins the CHERI Alliance to accelerate cybersecurity collaboration
Strengthening the CHERI ecosystem through Open-Source innovation We are excited to announce that The Capable Hub has become a member of the CHERI Alliance, a significant step forward in our mission to accelerate CHERI adoption. Improving the availability, quality, and upstream alignment of CHERI-enabled open-source software will make the design of CHERI-secured products easier and […]
The EU Cyber Resilience Act: What It Means for Secure-by-Design Systems and CHERI
