Corero Network Security has announced a $1.2 million expansion of its partnership with Lightedge, a leading provider of secure, compliant hybrid infrastructure. The agreement will replace an existing competitor and extend Corero’s high-performance DDoS protection across Lightedge’s growing network of data centers in the United States and globally.
As organizations reassess cloud strategies and bring workloads back to private and hybrid environments, infrastructure providers are rethinking how they defend an expanding threat surface. The expanded deployment strengthens Lightedge’s defense against increasingly sophisticated DDoS attacks targeting cloud service providers and critical infrastructure—an area under constant pressure as hybrid environments scale and regulatory expectations grow.
At the heart of this deployment is Corero’s SmartWall ONE™ platform, which delivers real-time, adaptive DDoS mitigation with sub-second response times. Whether deployed inline, at the edge, or in hybrid cloud configurations, SmartWall ONE’s scalable, high-availability architecture ensures service continuity without the disruption or latency of traditional scrubbing solutions.
Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security, commented, “Lightedge is helping businesses thrive in the hybrid cloud era—where performance, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. We’re proud to deepen our partnership, delivering protection that’s as scalable and dynamic as the threats it defends against.”
Michael Hannan, CIO & CSO at Lightedge, said, “Unifying and streamlining our security strategy makes sense for our hybrid cloud business, enabling us to adapt to our truly hybrid and highly-compliant client environments. Expanding with Corero was the clear choice to continue a relationship that has consistently delivered for us over the years. Their advanced, scalable defense ensures we can protect our Fortune 100-level customers from sophisticated DDoS threats, while maintaining the performance and availability they demand.”
This expansion reflects a broader industry shift toward flexible, AI-ready security architectures that adapt in real-time—without manual intervention or costly downtime.
