The LUxembourg Commercial Internet eXchange (LU-CIX) has welcomed Acorus Networks to its community as a connected Gold supporting member.
Acorus Networks, the new Gold supporting member of LU-CIX, is a French Cybersecurity startup founded in 2014 by co-founders Benjamin Schilz and Raphaël Maunier to protect both small and large companies against Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS) for their network infrastructure and their web application services.
After having deployed its robust infrastructure in different data centres in France to protect its French customers, Acorus Networks has begun to expand its protection network in Europe and opened a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Luxembourg in September 2017.
Benjamin Schilz, co-founder and CEO of Acorus Networks, commented: “Finance and Cloud providers established in Luxembourg need efficient DDoS protection as they already suffered attacks and downtime; that is the reason why we decided to open recently a local PoP in Bettembourg (Luxembourg) to address their demands”.
Claude Demuth, CEO of LUCIX, added that: “Cybersecurity is a very hot topic for Luxembourg and especially for LU-CIX. Through our events we are trying to sensitise the ICT community and we are glad to include among our members Acorus Networks and their innovative solutions”.
LU-CIX was founded in 2009 based on a non-profit membership association with the mission of developing the Internet and supporting the data centre community in Luxembourg.
