2025 Product and Industry Update

 

Corero (https://www.corero.com/) (AIM: CNS)
(https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/CNS/corero-network-security-plc/company-page)
(OTCQX: DDOSF) (https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/DDOSF/overview) , the
distributed denial of service ("DDoS") protection specialists and champion of
adaptive, real-time service availability, issues the following update from
Chief Executive Office, Carl Herberger, on Corero's product development and
DDoS industry trends in 2025.

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

This year, we saw a shift that many in our industry had been sensing for some
time. Even the most sophisticated operators, including Microsoft, Cloudflare,
and AWS, experienced outages that exposed how deeply interconnected and
vulnerable modern digital infrastructure has become. These were not outliers
or isolated events. They were reminders that the very nature of DDoS attacks
has changed, and that many defences were built for a world that no longer
exists.

 

What stood out the most this year was not just the size of attacks, but how
they were orchestrated. Most were small, under 1 Gbps, persistent, and
deliberately designed to slip past traditional detection thresholds, while
others were multi-vector, encrypted, and coordinated across systems. In both
cases, the goal was the same: degrade service quietly under the radar and
exhaust firewall resources over time.

 

We have heard this story repeatedly from customers. Legacy tools react too
late, cannot see into encrypted traffic, and struggle at the application
layer. When attacks come from multiple directions at once, coordination breaks
down. This is the kind of environment Corero's platform, anchored by SmartWall
ONE™, was built for, and in 2025 it became increasingly clear that effective
DDoS protection depends on always-on visibility, coordination across layers,
and mitigation that happens before services degrade.

 

Platform Evolution

The most important shift this year was not the result of a single Corero
product release, but how customers used our platform and what they asked us to
become. They did not just want help stopping large traffic spikes. They wanted
visibility where they had none before, protection that extended into encrypted
and application-layer traffic, and automation that could respond faster than
human teams ever could. That demand shaped everything we delivered this year.

 

We added transport layer security ("TLS") protection so customers could see
inside encrypted traffic without sacrificing performance. We introduced Zero
Trust Admission Control to stop credential abuse before it ever reached
applications or VPNs. We expanded our security application capabilities
(AppSec), and we made SmartWall ONE easier to deploy through bare-metal and
commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") options that removed procurement friction.
Together, these advances moved SmartWall ONE from a point solution to a more
comprehensive security platform.

 

The year also highlighted where we must continue to improve. Customers want
broader application-layer controls, deeper cloud-native integrations, and
simpler ways to consume security across hybrid environments. These
conversations directly informed early deployments of our CORE platform and
will shape how we grow Corero-powered protection in 2026.

 

These customer priorities will guide us over the next 12 to 24 months to make
SmartWall ONE even more central to customer operations by deepening automation
so the platform adapts faster than attackers evolve, with the goal of becoming
the security layer customers cannot operate without.

 

We enter 2026 with a stronger platform, and a strategy sharpened by the
realities of the past year. Our vision is clear: Corero becomes the
operational resilience layer for modern networked environments.

 

Warm regards,

 

Carl Herberger

Chief Executive Officer
