SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that NSFOCUS has been awarded the 2026 Global Competitive Strategy Leadership in the anti-DDoS industry for its outstanding achievements in cybersecurity innovation, strategy execution, and customer impact. This recognition highlights NSFOCUS's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving competitive landscape.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. NSFOCUS excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. "NSFOCUS delivers a coherent and confidence-driven customer experience across the full life cycle, from initial evaluation through long-term ownership and ongoing service engagement. The company structures evaluations around well-defined proof-of-concept success criteria and transparent sizing methodologies, helping customers avoid over- or under-provisioning of anti-DDoS systems (ADS), network traffic analyzers (NTA), or cloud DDoS protection services (DPS)," said Vivien Pua, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on hybrid cybersecurity architectures, AI-assisted operations, and customer-centric service delivery, NSFOCUS has shown its ability to adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. The company's strategic agility and sustained investment in anti-DDoS technologies and security operations have enabled it to scale effectively across global markets. With over 25 years of industry expertise, more than 4,000 employees worldwide, and over 200,000 customers globally, NSFOCUS continues to strengthen its leadership position in critical infrastructure-grade cybersecurity environments.

Innovation remains central to NSFOCUS's approach. Its suite of anti-DDoS solutions, including ADS, NTA, ADS Manager (ADSM), Cloud (DPS), and Managed Security Services (MSS), addresses the full spectrum of modern cyber defense requirements. The company combines AI-enriched detection, hardware acceleration, and SOC-led operations to deliver scalable, low-latency, and high-performance mitigation capabilities across on-premises, hybrid, cloud, and edge environments.

"This recognition reflects the trust our customers place in us worldwide, and the discipline that keeps NSFOCUS adapting its anti-DDoS defenses to every shift in the threat landscape. Resilient protection isn't a single technology — it's the commitment to evolve alongside the attacks our customers face." said Richard Zhao, COO of International Business at NSFOCUS.

NSFOCUS's unwavering commitment to the customer experience further strengthens its market position. Through structured onboarding, transparent deployment methodologies, standardized operational workflows, and around-the-clock SOC monitoring, the company consistently delivers predictable and resilient protection during real-world DDoS incidents. Its partner-led delivery model, localized support capabilities, and closed-loop feedback processes have enabled NSFOCUS to build long-term customer trust across telecommunications, financial services, cloud providers, gaming, and enterprise sectors worldwide.
