Webroot, a leader in delivering Internet security as a service, today announced a partnership with Corero Network Security (CNS: LN), an international network security company and the leading provider of First Line of Defense network security products which include Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense solutions. Corero will integrate Webroot IP Reputation Service into its solutions, to provide its customers with increased real-time protection against known malicious threats.
"Attack vectors are continually changing and we are committed to combating those attack sources by all means," said Corero CEO Marty Meyer. "Adding the Webroot IP reputation data to our existing dynamic IP protection solutions will create the industry's most comprehensive IP Reputation offering."

This prevents unauthorized network access and DDoS attacks, protects an enterprise's network infrastructure investment and eliminates costly downtime.
