Corero wins two industry awards

Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), the network security and business software provider, is pleased to announce that Network Products Guide has named Corero Network Security division's ("CNS") First Line of Defense solution as the winner in the "Best IT Products and Services for Finance, Banking and Insurance" category. CNS also won the "Best IT Products and Services for Medium-Sized Enterprises" award.

Network Products Guide is the industry's leading technology research and advisory guide and its awards are recognised as some of the world's premier information technology accolades, honoring achievements in every facet of the IT industry.

CNS' First Line of Defense solution stops distributed denial of service (DDoS), zero-day (an attack that exploits a previously unknown vulnerability in a computer application), server targeted, and other malicious attack activity that easily bypasses traditional defenses - including firewalls - by filtering and removing attack traffic before it hits the network. As a result, legitimate customer traffic is not slowed down or blocked. This provides critical visibility while allowing the entire IT infrastructure to operate more efficiently, optimising the performance of existing security devices, network applications and servers and ensuring business continuity.

CNS' First Line of Defense solution was selected as the best security product for enterprises in finance, banking and insurance based on its ability to block malicious attacks and prevent critical business disruptions.

CNS has produced a two minute video, which can be viewed from the home page of the CNS division web site (www.corero.com) to explain its security value proposition.

Ashley Stephenson, CEO of Corero's CNS division, commented, "We are delighted to be recognised by Network Products Guide as it reaffirms our position as the leading provider of IT Security Products and Services for enterprises in finance, banking and insurance. A recent Corero-sponsored third party surveyfound that more than two-thirds of banks suffered at least one DDoS attack in the last 12 months. This award is a testament to Corero's commitment to protecting customers' networks against these types of malicious attacks."
