Strategic win highlights the strength of Corero’s technology and alliance with Akamai Technologies
London, UK – August 28, 2025 – Corero Network Security (AIM: CNS) (OTCQX: DDoSF), a recognized leader in DDoS protection and champion of adaptive, real-time service availability, today announced it has secured a multi-year agreement with a leading European financial institution to enhance the resilience and availability of critical digital services. The win underscores Corero’s growing role in the global financial services sector and highlights the strategic value of its alliance with Akamai Technologies, which enables integrated protection strategies for enterprise environments.
Under the terms of the agreement, Corero will replace an incumbent on-premises DDoS protection solution following performance challenges and limited support experienced by the customer. Corero’s ease of use, real-time mitigation capabilities and leading security operations center services were key factors in the decision. The agreement spans an initial three-year term and an optional two-year extension for a single country with the opportunity for further growth.
The customer already relies on Akamai’s cloud-based DDoS protection. By adding the on-premises component, sold as Akamai Prolexic On-Prem powered by Corero, they gain a unified defense model that delivers high availability, operational visibility and proactive mitigation against evolving cyber threats. Procuring the full solution through Akamai also streamlined the purchasing and deployment process.
“This is a significant validation of our ability to meet the high standards of one of Europe’s most trusted financial institutions. It reflects the value of our technology and our partnership with Akamai, and reinforces our position as a provider of choice for organizations where service availability is mission-critical.”
“This continued partnership and strategic win alongside Corero underscore Akamai’s commitment to safeguarding the world’s most critical sectors with innovative, integrated security solutions. By combining Corero’s real-time on-premises DDoS mitigation with our market-leading cloud platform, we provide financial institutions unified protection, seamless operations, and the agility they need to stay resilient against evolving threats. This award demonstrates the real value of our alliance in delivering to customers and marks an exciting milestone in our ongoing collaboration."
With Corero’s protection in place, the institution gains enhanced visibility into threat activity, faster response times and improved assurance that essential services remain uninterrupted. The deal reflects increasing demand in the financial sector for integrated, proactive DDoS defense.
