Stopping 70% of Cyber Attacks with CHERI Technology | Codasip's Ron Black, CEO & Carl Shaw Safety and Security Architect


Listen Later

In this episode, Codasip's CEO Ron Black & Safety & Security Architect Carl Shaw join The IoT Podcast to discuss the first commercially viable implementation of CHERI (RISC-V) Technology.

With the increasing number of vulnerabilities and companies having problems in cybersecurity, like the recent Netgear router and iOS vulnerabilities.

The stakes for robust cyber security have never been higher. And of the cyberattacks, 70% exploit vulnerabilities related to how programs access and manipulate memory.

We'll be diving into how this groundbreaking technology is helping to protect against potential attacks by making memory exploitation more difficult.

    ABOUT CODASIP

    Codasip is a hardware design company specializing in empowering developers to create unique processors for the Internet of Things (IoT) and beyond. Founded in 2014, they focus on RISC-V technology, an open-source instruction set architecture. CHERI is a security boost for RISC-V processors. It uses special "capabilities" to tightly control memory access, preventing common attacks.

    Codasip first brought CHERI to market, offering processors with built-in security and compatibility with existing code. This combo makes RISC-V systems much more secure.
