He explains how CHERI enables spatial and temporal memory safety for C/C++, scales down to microcontrollers with CHERIoT, and replaces costly OS-level RPC mechanisms with lightweight, auditable compartmentalization - all without requiring massive codebase rewrites.</p> <i>By David Chisnall</i> Memory Hardware C++ QCon London 2026 Risk Management Performance Security Transcripts Development Architecture & Design presentation Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/presentations/cheri-memory-safety-compartmentalization/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Risk+Management-presentations David Chisnall 2026-08-12T11:00:00Z /presentations/cheri-memory-safety-compartmentalization/en
