Corero Network Security First 100Gbps SmartWall Deals Worth $400,000

Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), the AIM listed network security company, is pleased to announce that its SmartWall® Threat Defense System ("SmartWall") 100Gbps technology has been selected by two North American customers, a service provider and a hosting provider ("Customers"), to deliver real-time DDoS protection to their respective end-customers.

The combined customer orders are worth in excess of $400,000 for SmartWall products and related one-year support services.

Earlier this year, Corero launched its Intel®-based 100Gbps appliance, following a two year development investment led by its Edinburgh software development team. The 100Gbps product (the SmartWall NTD1100) extends Corero's real-time DDoS mitigation leadership position by delivering line-rate protection at 100Gbps. The SmartWall NTD1100 complements Corero's 10Gbps product (the SmartWall NTD120). All SmartWall products share a common management and data analytics platform ensuring efficient management and consistent protection across a customer's network.

Andrew Lloyd, Corero President and EVP Sales and Marketing, said:

"These customer wins mark an important milestone for our SmartWall product. We see growing adoption of 100Gbps connections, which in turn is driving demand for our SmartWall NTD1100 product.

"We expect this demand for our unique technology to accelerate in 2018 as these faster 100Gbps links combined with increasing end-user service-level expectations require a DDoS mitigation technology refresh. Corero is well placed to service these needs and to benefit from this trend."

Digital Enterprise Customer Orders Worth $0.9 Million
Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), the global network security company, is pleased to announce two orders for its SmartWall® Threat Defense System ("SmartWall") technology with a combined value of $0.9 million (with additional incremental orders expected in 2018).

These wins include a customer order which, as reported in the Trading Update dated 21 December 2017, was delayed to 2018, and a new customer win. Key highlights include:

· $0.5 million new customer win from a market leading UK based multi-brand media company following a successful proof of concept trial. The order includes multiple SmartWall products, with supporting SecureWatch services for three years.

· $0.4 million for an existing customer's ongoing deployment, which includes multiple SmartWall products with supporting SecureWatch® services for three years. Further additional material orders are expected in 2018 as part of the customer's global expansion and SmartWall deployment plan.

With the surge in commercial and industrial cybercrime, DDoS attacks of all sizes are rapidly increasing. Consequently, Corero's target market has expanded beyond service providers to include digital enterprises seeking real-time DDoS protection. Corero's SmartWall has been proven to excel in environments where businesses demand zero downtime and mitigation in seconds. Traditional technology and techniques can take longer to respond, which inevitably results in downtime or degraded performance and the secondary risks of breach and malware.

Corero Network Security said Monday it had received a $0.7m order for its SmartWall Threat Defense System technology from an existing digital enterprise customer.

The order was part of an existing customer's ongoing deployment and included multiple SmartWall products with supporting SecureWatch services for three years, the company said.

'With many digital enterprise organisations now adopting a zero tolerance approach for any degraded performance or service downtime from a DDoS attack, the resulting potential loss of revenue, reputation or regulatory breach continues to fuel our new business momentum,' said Andrew Lloyd, Corero President and EVP Sales and Marketing.

Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS) is pleased to announce a $0.5 million order for its new 100G SmartWall® Threat Defense System ("SmartWall") technology with a North American service provider (the "Customer").

The order consists of multiple SmartWall 100Gbps products with supporting SecureWatch® services for one year. It follows a successful proof-of-concept trial, which included the evaluation of competitors, with SmartWall recognised as the technology best-placed to meet the Customer's requirements.

The Corero SmartWall solution mitigates DDoS attacks in real-time, unlike many of its competitors which can take up to 20 minutes or more to detect and successfully defeat an attack.

The deployment of SmartWall will enable the Customer to protect its customers from malicious DDoS traffic launched from across the Internet globally. This will provide the Customer with further competitive differentiation from its peers and heightened long-term customer satisfaction.

Andrew Lloyd, Corero President and EVP Sales and Marketing, said:
"We are delighted to have secured another customer for our new 100Gbps SmartWall DDoS mitigation technology, having only introduced it in late 2017, following a multi-year development program. To secure this order after a rigorous selection process is also highly gratifying and highlights the key competitive advantage of our solution.

"We anticipate demand for our technology to accelerate during 2018 as we benefit from the combination of growth in adoption of faster 100Gbps links and increasing end-user service-level expectations resulting in the requirement for Service Providers, Cloud Providers and Enterprises to instigate a DDoS mitigation technology upgrade."

Corero secures global resale partnership with Juniper Networks

Corero Network Security said Monday it had secured a $2.0m equity investment from Juniper Networks.

The investment comes after Juniper on 25 Sept., agreed to a multi-year global resale partnership to resell and support Corero's SmartWall software products and services.

The proceeds from the investment would provide Corero with additional funding headroom to deliver on its objective of generating cash and positive earnings (EBITDA) during 2019.

Juniper purchased 17,008,969 new ordinary shares at a subscription price of 8.9p a share.

'We welcome this investment from a global corporation of Juniper Network's reputation and scale, in addition to our previously announced global resale partnership. We feel this represents a further endorsement of our vision for SmartWall products as a critical component in securing IT networks from DDoS attacks,' said Ashley Stephenson, Corero CEO.

'We look forward to working closely with Juniper to capitalise on our partnership and jointly pursuing the market opportunity for DDoS protection via its global sales force and channel.'

Corero Network Security said Tuesday it had won $0.6m order for its 100Gbps cybersecurity software from a global cloud security company and also announced an existing customer had expanded an order by $0.4m.

The $0.6m new customer order was for multiple SmartWall 100Gbps products with supporting SecureWatch services for one year, Corero said.

The $0.4m existing customer order, which included multiple SmartWall products with supporting SecureWatch services for three years, formed part of this customer's ongoing global deployment of SmartWall, it added.

Further orders were anticipated from both customers in the final quarter of 2018 as part of their ongoing expansion and SmartWall deployment plans, Corero said.

StockMarketWire.com
Corero Network Security on Wednesday won three customer orders totaling over $1.0m for its cyber security services and products.

The three customer orders included a $0.5m 1-year expansion order for Corero's SmartWall 100Gbps technology from an existing customer; a $0.3m DDoS Protection as a Service 3-year order with a new global hosting and colocation provider customer; and a $0.2m support and SecureWatch managed security services contract renewal.

'These customer wins are demonstrative of the increasing traction we are seeing across our DDoS mitigation solutions, and in particular, our 100Gbps SmartWall technology as the adoption of faster and more economic 100Gbps links accelerates. This is evidenced by the $2.0 million order intake our SmartWall 100Gbps solution has generated in the last 12 months since launch,' said Andrew Lloyd, Corero President and EVP Sales and Marketing.

'In addition, the SmartWall early adopter customer renewal we have secured reflects our high levels of customer satisfaction that we pride ourselves on and which underpin our exceptionally high subscription and support renewal rates.'

Cyber security company Corero Network Security said Thursday it expected to halve full-year earnings losses from a year earlier even as revenue growth was expected to fall short of expectations.

For the year ended 31 December 2018, earnings (EBITDA) losses was expected to be approximately $2.5m, from a loss $5.0m seen a year earlier, and revenue was expected to be approximately $10.0m, up from $8.5m a year earlier but lower than expected.

The company blamed the lower-than-expected revenue on a 'longer time required to ramp up new go-to-market partners and secure contracts.'

Order intake for the year was expected to be approximately $11.0m, representing growth of about 20% over the prior year's $9.3m.

The company said it expected to report a record final quarter amid strong demand for the Company's SmartWall Threat Defense System in the second half of the year.

Overheads were expected to be approximately 10% below the prior year. Looking ahead, the company said it would focus on 'delivering revenue growth, adding new customers, and targeting being EBITDA positive and cash generative by the end of 2019.'

'Corero enters 2019 following a year of solid growth in revenue and order intake and with a significant resale partnership agreement in place with Juniper Networks. We are excited about the prospects in the medium term, with the DDoS mitigation market fundamentals remaining strong and market analysts forecasting double digit growth,' said Ashley Stephenson, Corero CEO.
