Corero Network Security (London Stock Exchange: CNS, OTCQX: DDOSF), a company specializing in distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, has signed a multi-year agreement with Rocket Fibre, a UK-based broadband provider. The deal is designed to strengthen Rocket Fibre’s network security and enable them to offer real-time DDoS protection to their customers across the UK and Europe.
Rocket Fibre, known for its rapid growth in the regional broadband market, has chosen Corero’s SmartWall ONE™ solution. This technology integrates directly with Rocket Fibre’s existing Juniper MX routers, allowing for real-time detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks without the need for additional hardware. For Rocket Fibre, this means they can bolster their own infrastructure while also rolling out enhanced security services to their customers.
Tom Sanders, Managing Director at Rocket Fibre, explained the company’s approach, “Our mission is to transform how people experience broadband. That means delivering not just speed, but peace of mind. With Corero, we found a partner who shares our drive to redefine expectations. Their platform gives us the protection we need today and the flexibility to innovate tomorrow.”
Rocket Fibre’s decision to go with Corero was based on the platform’s ability to deliver automated, real-time DDoS mitigation that can scale as the network grows. The SmartWall ONE™ solution will also underpin Rocket Fibre’s upcoming wholesale service, set to launch in July 2025. This new offering will provide DDoS protection to all customers using Rocket Fibre’s services, which include IP Transit, SD-WAN, Leased Lines, FTTP, Dedicated Server, and VPS, across various locations in the UK and Europe.
For businesses interested in the wholesale service, Rocket Fibre is already accepting registrations for updates. The company is positioning itself to serve not just residential and SME customers, but also wholesale clients who need robust network security as part of their connectivity solutions.
The partnership also brings access to Corero’s Customer Portal and Tenant Prospecting tools, giving Rocket Fibre the ability to offer differentiated service tiers to small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers. With real-time threat response and analytics, Rocket Fibre aims to provide a more secure and reliable experience for its clients.
Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security, commented on the partnership, “This partnership speaks to what forward-thinking ISPs care about: securing growth without overextending resources and turning core infrastructure into a revenue enabler. Rocket Fibre is leading with both performance and protection, and we’re proud to support their next phase.”
The collaboration highlights a growing trend among broadband providers to invest in advanced security solutions that not only protect their own networks but also add value for customers. By leveraging Corero’s technology, Rocket Fibre can maximize the return on its existing infrastructure investments, simplify network operations, and introduce new service offerings that set it apart in a competitive market.
Corero Network Security, with operational centers in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh, UK, is headquartered in London. Corero’s technology is designed to protect against both external and internal DDoS threats, with a focus on visibility, analytics, and reporting tools for complex network environments.
Rocket Fibre, meanwhile, continues to focus on expanding high-speed fibre connectivity to residential, SME, and wholesale customers, with a particular emphasis on improving digital access in underserved areas. The company’s commitment to customer service and network resilience is central to its growth strategy.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, partnerships like this one between Corero and Rocket Fibre demonstrate how service providers are adapting, using technology not just to defend their networks, but to create new opportunities for growth and differentiation in the broadband market.
