Corero and EdgeUno expand automated DDoS protection across Latin America
Corero Network Security has announced a strategic partnership with EdgeUno, a regional connectivity provider in Latin America, to expand automated DDoS protection as a fully managed service across the region.
The partnership combines EdgeUno’ s regional infrastructure with Corero’ s automated defense technology to help organizations maintain availability during cyberattacks. Customers gain stable performance and continuous uptime, even as DDoS attacks become faster, shorter and more sophisticated.
“ Availability is personal for customers; it’ s their reputation, their revenue and their business,” said Carl Herberger, CEO, Corero Network Security.
“ With EdgeUno, we’ re delivering protection that reacts instantly to attacks, operates reliably every day and provides the transparency customers need to trust their services will remain online.”
Powered by Corero’ s SmartWall ONE platform, the service will be introduced in phases across EdgeUno’ s network, beginning with IP Transit customers and expanding to enterprises and service providers that depend on consistent connectivity.
Offered as a fully managed solution, it ensures uninterrupted mitigation during DDoS events, preserves application performance and eliminates the operational burden of in-house security management.
“ Our customers rely on us for high-performance network services throughout Latin America and we selected Corero because they share our commitment to service availability,” said Mehmet Akcin, Chief Executive Officer, EdgeUno.
“ Together, we’ re aligning performance and protection to keep critical services online when it matters most.”
For EdgeUno customers, the partnership delivers confidence, business continuity and resilient digital operations without added complexity.
Siemens Mobility wins landmark ETCS Level 2 rail digitalization contract in Chile
Siemens Mobility has secured a landmark contract with
EFE Trenes de Chile, the country’ s national railway operator, to deliver Chile’ s first European Train Control System Level 2( ETCS L2) project.
The deployment introduces Siemens Mobility’ s Signaling X platform to Latin America for the first time, operating on the DS3 platform engineered for Safety Integrity Level 4 applications.
The project covers 87 kilometers across the Alameda- Melipilla line( 61 km) and the Santiago-Batuco line( 26 km). Siemens Mobility will engineer, supply, install and commission advanced signaling and control systems over five years, followed by a ten-year maintenance agreement.
Signaling X integrates interlockings, signaling and control systems into a centralized virtualized data center. Built as a cloud-ready solution using commercial off-the-shelf hardware, it simplifies rail infrastructure, enhances cyber security and prepares networks for AI-driven applications.
ETCS Level 2 enables continuous communication between trains and trackside systems, improving capacity, reliability and operational efficiency.
The scope includes advanced interlockings, wayside equipment, traffic control centers and onboard systems for 32 trains. The communication system leverages 4G-LTE technology with future 5G readiness. The solution reduces the number of interlockings required, simplifies maintenance and supports future expansion.
The agreement also includes comprehensive digital services covering preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance.
Siemens Mobility will establish a regional software maintenance Center of Competence in Chile, strengthening long-term rail digitalization efforts and supporting future projects across Latin America under EFE’ s modernization strategy.
