Lightedge Fortifies Global DDoS Defense with $1.2M Corero Network Security Expansion

In a strategic move to bolster its cybersecurity infrastructure, Lightedge has announced a $1.2 million expansion of its partnership with Corero Network Security. This collaboration aims to enhance real-time, adaptive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection across Lightedge’s expanding network of data centers in the United States and globally.

As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid and private cloud environments, the need for robust security measures becomes paramount. The expanded deployment of Corero’s SmartWall ONE platform will provide Lightedge with real-time, automated DDoS mitigation capabilities, ensuring service continuity without the latency associated with traditional scrubbing solutions.

Carl Herberger, CEO of Corero Network Security, commented on the partnership:

“Lightedge is pivotal in supporting businesses as they navigate the hybrid cloud environment, where operational efficiency and compliance are paramount. We are enthusiastic about our enhanced partnership, enabling us to deliver adaptable protection against a spectrum of evolving threats.”

Their scalable security solutions empower us to proactively defend our top-tier customers from DDoS threats while maintaining the requisite performance standards.”

This expansion reflects a broader industry trend towards flexible, AI-ready security architectures that adapt in real-time without manual intervention or costly downtime.
