Corero Network Security plc

("Corero" or the "Company")

Significant Contract Win

Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), the AIM listed network security company, is pleased to announce a major SmartWall® Threat Defense System ("SmartWall TDS") sale to a UK FTSE 100 company.

The order, valued at $0.7 million, provides Distributed Denial of Service ("DDoS") protection for the customer's worldwide operations. The solution comprises Corero SmartWall TDS products deployed at multiple data centre locations to provide real-time DDoS protection with supporting SecureWatch® services for a three year period.

Ashley Stephenson, CEO of Corero, commented: "Recent high profile victims of DDoS attacks including the Royal Bank of Scotland, Carphone Warehouse and the National Crime Agency, are bringing the frequency and severity of DDoS attacks to the forefront.

"The disruption caused by a DDoS attack can expose weaknesses in organisations' cyber defences or overwhelm other security tools and IT infrastructure. The use of DDoS attacks as a smokescreen to camouflage other cyber-attacks, including data breaches and financial fraud, is a real threat, especially for any internet-connected business with sensitive data, such as credit card details or other sensitive personal data.

"Eliminating this risk, and the significant reputational damage of such an attack, requires real-time DDoS detection and mitigation solutions such as Corero's SmartWall TDS."
