New deployment option accelerates time to protection and expands customer flexibility
LONDON, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Corero Network Security (AIM: CNS) (OTCQX: DDOSF), the distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection specialists, today announced that the orchestration plane of its flagship SmartWall ONE™ solution is now deployable in Akamai Compute, Akamai Technologies‘ edge-native cloud computing platform. This evolution gives customers more flexibility and agility in managing DDoS protection infrastructure while preserving the precision and speed of Corero’s automatic mitigation. This reflects Corero’s broader shift toward cloud-native enablement through initiatives like the CORE solution.
With this capability, Corero customers can operate the full control plane in the cloud. The need for on-premises infrastructure is eliminated, enabling deployments to be completed in hours instead of weeks. This helps overcome delays tied to hardware procurement, staffing availability, and geographic constraints. The ability to launch quickly not only accelerates time to protection but also has the potential to increase deal velocity by removing traditional infrastructure bottlenecks.
“This is all about speed, scale and simplicity,” said Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security. “Our customers can now deploy, manage and scale their DDoS orchestration in the cloud instantly and globally without losing a millisecond of real-time protection. It is a huge leap forward for flexibility and resilience.”
Deploying the orchestration stack in Akamai Compute brings immediate cloud-native benefits. Customers gain elastic resource allocation, built-in high availability and geographic redundancy. The option also allows temporary use of cloud infrastructure during software upgrades or internal infrastructure transitions, ensuring operational continuity without added complexity.
This launch deepens Corero’s strategic relationship with Akamai, building on joint offerings such as Akamai Prolexic On-Prem DDoS Protection, which integrates Corero’s real-time mitigation technology. By enabling orchestration in Akamai Compute, both companies gain a more streamlined go-to-market path that supports enterprise cloud strategies and expands customer access. The architecture also supports multi-tenant management with strong control plane separation, providing secure, scalable deployment options and paving the way for future managed service models.
