OREANDA-NEWS. February 26, 2016.  Corero Network Security plc (AIM: CNS), the AIM listed network security company, today announces beta availability for the Corero SmartWall® Network Threat Defense - Virtual Edition (vNTD Monitor), a software-only DDoS event monitoring solution.

This industry first software-only technology brings real-time DDoS event monitoring in a cloud environment for more diverse deployment possibilities. The vNTD Monitor uses the same powerful and rich DDoS security event analytics and reporting found in the Company's award-winning Corero SmartWall Threat Defense System appliance. By enabling organisations to more easily quantify their DDoS challenges, it is intended that the vNTD Monitor will lead to increased demand for the Company's flagship SmartWall Threat Defense System mitigation tool.

vNTD Monitor is the result of Corero's increased software development efforts to revolutionise the landscape for flexible DDoS solutions.

Dave Larson, Chief Operating Officer of Corero, said:

"The introduction of vNTD Monitor provides the freedom and flexibility to monitor DDoS activity against any server, application or network. It allows network and security teams the ability to stay in control of DDoS attacks in a cloud environment with visibility of attack traffic, intuitive analytics and alerting of DDoS attack vectors targeting the system or workload."
