Case Study: Journal Register Company achieves DDoS protection and uninterrupted real-time news delivery with Corero’s IPS

Journal Register Company Delivers News in Real Time with Corero’s IPS

Journal Register Company, a digital-first publisher reaching 15.8 million monthly readers across 992 communities, experienced a malware breach and a Distributed Denial of Service attack that bypassed its disparate, aging firewall technologies during a move to cloud-hosted services. The CTO needed a low‑overhead, adaptive security solution to stop botnets, malware and DDoS threats while protecting both on‑premises networks and cloud connectivity.

They deployed Corero’s IPS within days, with appliances installed at four key sites and Corero engineers providing hands‑on setup and training. The IPS immediately blocked the DDoS, has prevented subsequent breaches with automatic updates and minimal intervention, and—along with ongoing optimization and training—restored reliable, real‑time content delivery and supported the company’s digital transformation.
