What is CHERI?

CHERI is a cutting-edge technology designed to protect your digital information like never before. By creating tiny, secure compartments for data, and tightly controlling their access, CHERI helps making your information safe from cyber threats. 

Built into the hardware of electronic devices, CHERI cannot be bypassed by attackers, making it a foundational technology for developing safer products. 

Why CHERI?

You often hear about a single weak point allowing hackers to infiltrate and take over an entire network? CHERI steps in by constructing virtual barriers between components, effectively stopping such breaches in their tracks. CHERI also means a better protection for your critical data – keys, personal information, secrets, identity… – but it can also safeguard the software itself, ensuring the integrity and functionality of your systems is preserved.

Why now?

In an era of growing cyber threats and deepening dependence on technology, the risks to our digital systems have never been higher. In 2024 alone, global cybercrime costs are estimated to have exceeded $10.5 trillion, with over 2,200 cyberattacks occurring each day, targeting everything from personal data to national infrastructure.  

CHERI provides a proactive, hardware-based security solution that not only tackles more than 70% of current vulnerabilities but also prepares us for future challenges. As regulations tighten and the demand for stronger protection increases, adopting CHERI is a critical step toward securing our digital landscape. 

Where?

CHERI technology can be integrated into a wide range of devices and systems, from personal computers and smartphones to critical infrastructure and IoT devices. This versatility ensures that whether you’re protecting personal data or securing large-scale networks, CHERI provides a robust security foundation tailored to meet the demands of our increasingly connected world. 

When?

CHERI technology starts to become available in components, making it possible to integrate into consumer electronics, enterprise systems, and critical infrastructure.
