Building a Resilient Cyber Future

Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme Showcase

Join Digital Catapult and UKRI to discover how the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) programme is moving the UK towards a resilient cyber future on Thursday 21 November at Digital Catapult’s HQ in London, Euston Road.

Through the DSbD Technology Access Programme, participants gain access to Arm’s Morello board, the CHERI stack, and technical support to trial the deep tech within their systems. By feeding these outcomes back to the developers of Morello and CHERI, the programme is helping refine the technologies and advance the UK towards a more resilient cyber future.

The event will showcase the latest technologies that are enabling a more secure digital computing infrastructure and allowing UK businesses to prevent around two thirds of security vulnerabilities. The showcase event will feature presentations and demonstrations from the innovators and solution providers at the bleeding edge of cyber technology.

Key stakeholders from across the UK’s cyber security landscape are invited to:

• Learn how UK companies have benefited from the deployment of DSbD’s deep tech to secure their products, systems and applications.
• Hear from industry experts on the opportunities of CHERI RISC-V and CHERIoT.

The DSbD community, professionals interested in CHERI, CHERIoT or Arm’s Morello board, as well as programme partners and industry experts – whether previously involved or new to the initiative – are all welcome.

This event will showcase how deep tech is shaping a more resilient cyber future through the Digital Security by Design programme. Attendees will learn how UK businesses have leveraged Arm’s Morello board to develop more secure products, systems, and applications.

Throughout the event, participants to the latest cohort will present the security and performance outcomes from their projects as well as their experiences with cutting-edge technologies. Attendees to this showcase will hear about their challenges, solutions, achievements, and the practical benefits discovered during these trials.

Industry experts will also take part in an engaging panel discussion on RISC-V. The discussion will include:

• Opportunities and next steps for CHERI RISC-V and CHERIoT
• Identifying knowledge gaps for new users

This event offers a valuable opportunity to network with peers and industry leaders while gaining insights into the future of cyber technologies.
