Corero Network Security Secures Two Tier-1 APAC Telecommunications Wins

SmartWall ONE™ Relied Upon by Tier-1 Operators to Protect High-Capacity Networks and Enable DDoS Protection-as-a-Service

LONDON, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corero Network Security (AIM: CNS) (OTCQX: DDOSF), a recognized leader in DDoS protection and champion of adaptive, real-time service availability, today announced two significant wins with Tier-1 telecommunications operators in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The wins reflect growing demand for automated DDoS protection that ensures business continuity, safeguards customer experience, and enables new security services.

“As networks scale, Tier-1 operators are turning to Corero because our DDoS protection is built to perform at the highest levels,” said Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security. “We help service providers protect massive network capacity, differentiate their services, and deliver always-on security their customers can trust.”

Two Tier-1 telecommunications operators in APAC, both with global operations, are relying on Corero to ensure continuous service availability as their networks scale. One operator is using Corero to protect network capacity of up to 500Gbps, while the other is leveraging Corero to strengthen its security portfolio and deliver DDoS Protection-as-a-Service. Together, these wins help service providers keep customers connected while turning DDoS protection into a differentiated, revenue-generating service.

Across both wins, SmartWall ONE was relied upon to:

  • Ensure continuous connectivity and service quality during large-scale DDoS attacks
  • Detect and mitigate threats automatically and in real time
  • Scale efficiently to support rapid network growth while lowering total cost of ownership
  • Enable DDoS Protection-as-a-Service offerings for enterprise and consumer customers

By enabling always-on protection at scale, Corero helps Tier-1 operators keep customers online and secure—even during attack events—while strengthening trust, reducing churn risk, and unlocking new security-driven revenue. These wins reinforce Corero’s expanding footprint in APAC, a strategic growth region where operators are investing in resilience, automation, and differentiated services to support digital economies at scale.

First Patient Dosed in Pivotal Phase 3 Study of TLX591-Px (Illuccix®) for Prostate Cancer Imaging in Japanese Patients

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 3 registration study of TLX591-Px (Illuccix®, Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11) for prostate cancer imaging in Japanese patients. The patient was dosed at Shonan Kamakura General Hospital (SKGH) in Kamakura, Japan.

Illuccix Japan[1] is a Phase 3 prospective, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the detection efficacy and safety profile of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT[2] in Japanese patients with biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer following prior radical prostatectomy. The study will enroll up to 105 Japanese men at 11 sites and data are intended to support a future marketing authorization application for TLX591-Px in Japan.

The primary objective of the study is to compare the sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT to conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy) for the detection of metastatic lesions. Secondary objectives include evaluating diagnostic performance for local and distant lesions, safety and tolerability, and the impact of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT on clinical management decisions.

Commencement of the trial augments Telix’s early access and clinical activities in the world’s second-largest market for nuclear medicine. This includes compassionate use for TLX591-Px in Japan[3], and the Phase 3 ProstACT Global study of TLX591-Tx (lutetium (177Lu) rosopatamab tetraxetan)[4] in advanced prostate cancer, which is now open for enrollment[5].

Dr. David N. Cade, Telix Group Chief Medical Officer, commented, “PSMA-PET[6] imaging has fundamentally changed how we detect and manage prostate cancer, providing greater accuracy and confidence in treatment planning compared with conventional imaging. Yet, access remains limited in much of Japan, where 68Ga-PSMA-11 is not fully validated in the local clinical setting or across all stages of the disease. This milestone, together with Telix’s existing compassionate use supply to address unmet patient need, brings us significantly closer to improving access to gallium-based PSMA-PET and improving outcomes for men living with prostate cancer in Japan.”

About Prostate Cancer in Japan

The Asia Pacific region comprises approximately one-third of the world’s male population and includes many nations whose populations are ageing or increasingly adopting a more affluent, ‘Western-style’ lifestyle, the two main demographic trends driving increasing cancer incidence rates. Consequently, the incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in many parts of the region.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Japanese men with more than 104,000 new diagnoses each year, and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death with over 14,000 deaths annually[7].

SOR’s EdgeiQ – First Commercial Pilot Deployment

PERTH, Australia, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX: SOR) advises that its wholly owned subsidiary, Stealth Technologies Pty Ltd (Stealth), has received a purchase order from a major global gold producer for the pilot deployment of EdgeiQ, its production efficiency–focused technology, at an operating underground gold mine in Western Australia.

Managing Director, Charles Murphy, said:

“This pilot deployment represents an important step in the commercial evaluation of EdgeiQ in a live underground mining environment. We’ve been deliberate in preparing the technology for this stage, and this deployment allows both parties to assess performance under real operating conditions.”

The purchase order represents Stealth’s first commercial order for the EdgeiQ technology following an extended period of internal development, system integration and preparation for operation in live underground environments.

The total contract value for the purchase order is approximately $225,000 (excluding GST) and covers the supply and installation of the EdgeiQ system for a pilot deployment, together with a pilot software licence including system monitoring and support valid for 12 months.

In parallel with its mining-focused activities, Stealth has previously undertaken development work supported by collaborative programs and grant initiatives aligned with defence and national security priorities in sensing, perception and autonomous systems. This work has contributed to the maturation and field-readiness of Stealth’s core technology platform.

The pilot is intended to evaluate system performance under live operating conditions and reflects ongoing interest from the gold and copper sectors in technologies focused on production efficiency in underground mining. Gold and copper operations, where material value per tonne is relatively high, are considered a strong initial fit for such technologies.

The pilot is designed to support evaluation and demonstration of the technology for potential broader commercial deployment. Any subsequent renewal or expansion would be subject to separate agreement. Stealth retains ownership of all intellectual property associated with the EdgeiQ technology.

The Company expects to provide further updates as the pilot progresses and evaluation outcomes are assessed, in line with its continuous disclosure obligations.

Mitrade’s 2026 Outlook: Blue-Chip Stocks, Volatility, and the ASX Today

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amid heightened volatility on the ASX, CFD traders are navigating conditions where blue-chip equities are beginning to exhibit price swings more commonly seen in commodities and indices. Mitrade’s latest strategic outlook, Financial Markets 2026: Volatility Catalysts in Gold, Silver, Oil, and Blue-Chip Stocks—A CFD Trader’s Outlook examines the macroeconomic and cross-asset catalysts driving this repricing and what they may signal for traders positioning into 2026.

The report identifies three interconnected forces reshaping market behaviour: central bank policy uncertainty, geopolitical tensions fuelling demand for safe-haven assets, and competing dynamics within global energy markets—including rising AI infrastructure demand driving industrial inputs. These catalysts are already influencing the ASX today. On 19 January, the ASX 200 dipped 0.3%, with ABC News noting a sharp divergence—tech and bank stocks fell while utilities gained—signalling the broader repricing now affecting blue chip stocks Australia-wide.

“For Australian CFD traders, blue chip stocks offer a more accessible way to engage with market volatility—especially when compared to assets like gold, which often require higher entry capital,” said Elven Jong, CEO of Mitrade Australia. “What we’re seeing is that traditional equities are moving more like macro assets. That shift demands more than just access—it calls for context. Mitrade supports traders with a complete ecosystem that includes risk education, live market insights, and cross-device access to help traders stay connected when conditions shift rapidly.”

Viewed through a global lens, Mitrade’s report reflects broader shifts that are redefining how traders participate in today’s financial markets. Recognised for its commitment to transparency and innovation, Mitrade was named Best Trading Platform Australia 2025 and Best Forex Broker Australia. These accolades underscore the platform’s role in helping traders respond confidently to evolving market conditions.
