Why Join?

CHERI adoption depends on collaboration across processor and chip design, software, research, product engineering, assurance, policy, and deployment. Membership provides a practical way to work with others facing the same challenges and opportunities.

Many of the most important conversations in the CHERI ecosystem happen within the Alliance. Members can learn from peers, influence future directions, stay close to emerging developments, and help shape the technologies, standards, and practices that support CHERI adoption.

Create demand for CHERI

Whether you build technology, buy it, deploy it, or depend on it, Alliance membership is a way to signal that memory safety matters. Growing membership demonstrates market demand for CHERI-enabled products, platforms, and services.

Every new member strengthens the case for suppliers, technology providers, and investors to support CHERI, helping accelerate adoption across the ecosystem.

Access member-only knowledge

Members can access selected reports, working-group information, ecosystem updates, contacts, and other resources that are not yet publicly available.

Help shape the roadmap

Members can bring product requirements, compatibility needs, and deployment constraints into working groups, helping shared effort focus on the blockers that matter most to adopters.

Learn from those building CHERI today

Members gain access to practical experience from across the ecosystem through working groups, conferences, workshops, and technical discussions. By learning from organisations already developing and deploying CHERI technologies, members can reduce risk, avoid duplicated effort, and accelerate adoption.

Share the work

Members can contribute to common guidance, software, tests, events, and educational resources. The Alliance aims to make these shared outputs openly available whenever possible, accelerating progress across the wider CHERI ecosystem.

Shared foundations allow organisations to focus more effort on what differentiates their products, services, or research.

Increase visibility and influence

Members can showcase their organisation, products, research, and expertise through dedicated web pages, Alliance communications, articles, conferences, webinars, speaking opportunities, and demonstrations. At selected events, members may also be offered free exhibition space.

For many organisations, the visibility, credibility, relationships, and business opportunities created through Alliance activities can significantly exceed the cost of membership.

The Alliance also acts as a collective voice for the CHERI ecosystem, helping members engage with industry, governments, standards bodies, researchers, and potential adopters. Together, members can amplify their influence and help shape the future of CHERI and secure computing.

Connect developers and adopters

Membership connects organisations developing CHERI technologies with organisations evaluating or deploying them. Better understanding between these groups can improve roadmaps, strengthen collaboration, and reduce adoption risk.

Member resources and events also make it easier to discover and contact relevant organisations and experts across the ecosystem.

The Alliance actively encourages discussions between technology providers, researchers, integrators, and adopters. These connections can create new partnerships, commercial opportunities, and collaborative projects that help accelerate CHERI adoption across the ecosystem.

Be part of what comes next

Many of the conversations, collaborations, and partnerships shaping CHERI happen within the Alliance. Members gain direct access to the people building and adopting the technology, while helping create demand across the supply chain.

For many organisations, participation in the Alliance is both an investment in their own security journey and a way to help accelerate the wider adoption of CHERI.

Join the Alliance and help turn CHERI from opportunity into widespread adoption.
