ZENEDGE Announces Record Quarter with Growing Momentum to Displace On-Premise and Legacy WAF and DDoS Solutions

Hardened DDoS Mitigation Centers, New Artificial Intelligence Web Application Firewall, Key Customer Wins Contribute to Triple-Digit Growth

AVENTURA, Florida, May 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ZENEDGE, a leading provider of cloud-based, artificial intelligence (AI) driven Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS cybersecurity solutions, announced today record breaking 1Q2016 performance.  The company continues to win and onboard key customers at a rapid pace and is on a strong growth trajectory as it meets the demand for cloud-based cybersecurity, managed 24x7 by top cybersecurity experts.

Organizations are looking to cloud-based, turnkey cybersecurity solution providers that understand the challenges in the space and manage the solution entirely, as a natural extension of the in house IT organization.  ZENEDGE combines management of an enterprise-grade web application firewall with commercial rules, threat intelligence feeds, DDoS Layer 3, 4 and Layer 7 protection with a user-friendly, real-time web portal.  This portal, in conjunction with a 24x7 tuning and monitoring service provided by top cybersecurity experts, places ZENEDGE in a winning market position with a clearly differentiating value proposition.

Triple-digit Growth 

ZENEDGE is at the heart of the fast growing and converging DDoS and WAF markets, delivering a seamless solution to protect web applications and networks, addressing the needs of a multi-billion dollar market.  As a result, the Company was able to demonstrate significant growth:

• YoY Customer retention rate over 98%

Key Customer Acquisitions

Specific industry wins include:

• A European stock exchange that did not want to go with a recommended legacy vendor but instead find the next generation technology company with strong vision and execution
• A large Canadian telco that chose ZENEDGE over two other established vendors in a POC whereby ZENEDGE satisfied the requirement with out-of-the-box protection where others failed even with custom configurations
