Update on Order Intake

Progress towards strategic goals with recent customer orders of over $3m

Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), a leading provider of real-time, high-performance, automatic Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense solutions, announces that it continues to make further progress towards its strategic goals of international expansion, development of its strategic and business partnerships and further penetration of Tier 1 and major accounts. This positive progression is reflected in the associated order intake of more than $3 million in the first two months of the final quarter of 2020. Revenues associated with these orders will be recognised over the course of the lifetime of each of the contracts.

Customer orders in the two months to end November include:
