Corero Secures APAC Deals, Highlights DDoS Protection-as-a-Service Trend
Event summary
- Corero Network Security secured two contracts with Tier-1 telecommunications operators in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
- One operator is leveraging Corero to protect up to 500Gbps of network capacity.
- The second operator intends to use Corero to offer DDoS Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) to enterprise and consumer customers.
- The wins underscore growing demand for automated DDoS protection and differentiated security services in APAC.
The big picture
The APAC region represents a significant growth opportunity for cybersecurity firms, driven by increasing network capacity and a heightened awareness of DDoS threats. Corero's wins highlight the trend of telecommunications operators seeking to monetize security services, transforming DDoS protection from a cost center into a revenue generator. The reliance on DPaaS suggests a broader shift towards consumption-based security models within the telecom sector.
What we're watching
- Service Adoption
- The success of Corero's DPaaS model will depend on the willingness of APAC operators to embrace and market these services to their customers, which could be impacted by regional pricing sensitivities and competitive offerings.
- Scalability
- Corero's ability to maintain its performance and cost-effectiveness as it scales to protect increasingly larger networks, particularly beyond the 500Gbps demonstrated, will be a key determinant of future contract wins.
- Competitive Landscape
- The emergence of alternative DDoS mitigation solutions and the potential for in-house development by Tier-1 operators could erode Corero’s market share and pricing power in the long term.
