Apply Now: Secure Your Digital Future with lowRISC and The Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme
Gain exclusive access to cutting-edge cybersecurity technology to stay ahead of threats – and the competition
In an era where patching and mitigating vulnerabilities is foundational to every organisation’s defence strategy, memory issues represent approximately 70% of those bugs. If our code becomes memory-safe, the impact of vulnerabilities across the attack surface will be significantly reduced.
That’s why lowRISC, through the UKRI funded Sunburst Project, is proud to partner with Digital Catapult to launch the 6th cohort of the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) Technology Access Programme, an initiative that will provide a real-world test platform for UK-based companies to experiment with our innovative Sonata FPGA board.
The DSbD Technology Access Programme is designed to empower developers by transforming how computers run software, ultimately enhancing the security, integrity, and resilience of their digital environments. As part of this 5-month programme, companies will gain access to the following benefits and more:
- Prototype, cutting-edge technology to stay ahead in the competitive landscape
- A £15,000 grant for Tier 1 companies, providing crucial funding to support their innovation journey
- A vibrant community of like-minded professionals to share ideas, forge new relationships, and collaborate with
- Expert support from leading organisations like lowRISC, Arm, University of Cambridge, and Digital Catapult
- Opportunities to identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in your systems, enhancing the security of products
“We’re thrilled to lend our support to the DSbD Technology Access Programme to help make Sonata accessible to a wider audience and promote CHERI as an efficient security standard,” said Dr. Gavin Ferris, CEO of lowRISC. “In the demanding and resource-limited environment of embedded systems, the Sonata board offers developers an effective way to start working with CHERI technology.”
The Sonata board is a low cost, secure-by-design, embedded micro-controller developed by lowRISC to evaluate the usage of the CHERIoT Ibex core for embedded, IoT, and Operational Technology applications. It is designed for use on FPGA, and since the entire design is open-source, it can be run on any similar system.
The DSbD Technology Access Programme is more than just an opportunity to explore new technologies – it’s a chance to lead the way in creating a more secure digital world. Apply now to secure your place in the DSbD Technology Access Programme before applications close on Sunday, September 22nd!
Sonata is part of the Sunburst Project funded by UKRI/DSbD (grant #107540).
