Corero says QKS Group ranking keeps it in DDoS mitigation leader spot

Corero Network Security said on Aug. 6 that QKS Group’s 2026 SPARK Matrix for DDoS Mitigation kept it in the Leader quadrant and as the only Emerging Innovator.

The London-based company said the ranking reflects how enterprise buyers and security teams compare vendors in the market for distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, mitigation. Corero said the result reflects market momentum, global partnerships and customer confidence in its SmartWall ONE and CORE products.

Corero said SmartWall ONE and CORE provide real-time protection against denial-of-service and DDoS attacks, traffic analytics, application-layer defenses and visibility. The company said the products are designed to offer cyber resiliency across layers 3 through 7.

QKS Group analyst Lokesh Biswal said Corero treats service availability as a real-time inline problem rather than a bulk scrubbing exercise. Biswal said SmartWall ONE combines packet inspection with behavior-based protection, is designed to stop zero-day and multi-vector attacks at the edge and can use hybrid integrations such as Akamai to extend resilience to cloud scale.

Corero CEO Carl Herberger said customers expect confidence that their services will stay online. He said the recognition reflects trust customers place in SmartWall ONE and CORE.

The company said it is headquartered in London and has operational centers in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh, UK. It is listed on AIM under the ticker CNS and on OTCQX under the ticker DDOSF.

Corero did not disclose any new sales figures or product launch plans in the release. The announcement was dated Aug. 6, 2026 and was based on the company’s statement about QKS Group’s ranking.
