Corero, the distributed denial of service ("DDoS") protection specialists and champion of adaptive, real-time service availability, is pleased to announce good sales traction across Q3 2025, driven by a number of new customer wins and product enhancement launches, as well as a key customer renewal and expansion order in October, delivering a strong start to Q4 2025.
Corero delivered a strong Q3 2025, with order intake of $7.4 million (Q3 2024: $6.0 million) and new contract wins secured across the US, UK, Europe, Brazil, and Singapore. Two additional CORE customer wins were secured in Q3 2025, following the first two CORE contracts secured in Q2 2025.
DDoS protection solutions
Corero secured a renewal and significant expansion order with a key customer, a pioneering US cloud computing provider, in October 2025. The renewed and expanded contract, providing DDoS protection solutions to the customer’s current and planned data center portfolio, has a total contract value of $6.8 million, $0.8 million of which was included in the Q3 2025 order intake value noted above.
The $6.8 million contract consists of a $3.1 million renewal (of all existing contracts) and $3.7 million expansion, which will be delivered and recognized on a subscription basis over the three-year contract term.
Customer demand requirements
In addition to good customer traction in H2 2025 to date, Corero has also recently announced a number of key platform enhancements to serve customer demand requirements:
- Layer 7 TLS Protection blocks high-volume application-layer attacks in real time at the network edge with no additional latency, no false positives and no additional hardware.
- Zero Trust Admission Control uses behavioral analytics to detect and block anomalies at login portals, reducing risk from credential abuse and bot-driven attacks.
- Extended WAF and Application Security for Service Providers, which protects web applications and APIs using adaptive analytics, threat modeling and anti-bot capabilities, enabling service providers to offer high-value application-layer security as a managed service.
- Bare Metal and Commercial Off-the-Shelf Deployment Options, which extend the use cases for Corero’s software-led, hardware-agnostic capabilities to customers who desire to run Corero’s solution on hardware of their choosing.
Management reaffirms the guidance for the year ending 31 December 2025, as announced on 16 July 2025, of revenue between $24.0 million and $25.5 million (FY 2024: $24.6 million) and EBITDA between $1.5 million loss and $0 million (FY 2024: $2.5 million profit).
DDoS protection requirements
Carl Herberger, Chief Executive Officer at Corero, commented: “I am delighted to extend our partnership with a key Corero customer and to continue to support their growing business and DDoS protection requirements. This expanded contract demonstrates Corero’s technical leadership and the confidence customers, including those managing critical infrastructures, have in our SmartWall ONE platform.”
“I am encouraged by the sales growth in Q3 2025 and the strong start to Q4 2025. Our success in winning new customers and expanding our global presence, combined with Corero’s strategic focus on product innovation, continues to sit at the heart of our customer proposition.”
“The H2 2025 sales momentum not only reflects our strengthening market presence but highlights the ongoing and urgent shift towards performance-driven, flexible and scalable DDoS protection to mitigate cybersecurity attacks.”
