Specialist cyber threat blocking company Corero Network Security has announced two new orders for its SmartWall Threat Defence System technology, with a combined worth of over $900,000.

The agreements consist of a new deal with a UK-based multi-brand media company, plus ongoing development and support for an existing client.

The company also said that further orders were expected later in 2018.

Andrew Lloyd, Corero’s president and EVP sales and marketing, said: “We are delighted to have secured two significant pieces of business, further demonstrating that Corero’s technology is providing an increasing number of digital enterprises with real-time DDoS mitigation solutions in response to the rampant growth of commercial and industrial cybercrime.

“We are steadily building a strong pipeline of new business opportunities and believe the recent escalation in DDoS attacks globally will continue to underpin this demand.”

The company said that investment in Corero’s Smartwall solution was being driven by new cyber-security regulatory requirements to reduce their compliance risk.
