QKS Group names Corero a Leader in DDoS mitigation report

QKS Group said on Aug. 6, 2026, that it named Corero Network Security a Leader in its SPARK Matrix™: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation, 2026 report.

QKS Group said DDoS attacks can knock websites, applications, networks, servers and IP addresses offline or make them harder to reach. The company said the category covers tools and techniques used to deflect volume-based, protocol and application-layer attacks.

QKS Group analyst Lokesh Biswal said Corero takes a real-time, inline approach to service availability. He said SmartWall ONE combines high-capacity packet inspection with behavior-based protection and is designed to stop zero-day and multi-vector attacks at the edge.

The release said Corero is a true inline, always-on packet-inspection platform that inspects every packet at line rate from layer 3 to layer 7, with sub-second response and ultra-low latency. It said the company serves telcos, internet service providers, hosting providers and enterprises.

Corero said its operational centers are in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh, UK, and that it is headquartered in London. The company said it is listed on London Stock Exchange AIM and on OTCQX in the US.

Corero CEO Carl Herberger said the Leader naming and Corero’s status as the only Emerging Innovator in the SPARK Matrix reflect customer trust in SmartWall ONE and CORE. He said the company remains focused on delivering real-time protection so organizations can stay resilient.

QKS Group described itself as a global analyst and advisory firm. It said the SPARK Matrix study looks at market dynamics, trends, vendor landscape and competitive positioning.
