(Sharecast News) - Network security specialists Corero has received "significant new orders" for its SmartWall ONE distributed denial of services protection solutions to close out the second quarter.

Corero said on Wednesday that the orders, which have a total contract value of $2.2m, were with four new customers, three of which were based in North America and one in the UK.
