The product launched at GovernmentWare (GovWare), a Southeast Asia conference.
10. DDoS Mitigation Services: US Signal has partnered with Cloudflare to launch a managed and customizable distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection service.

It leverages Cloudflare’s global Anycast network and is implemented by US Signal’s information security and provisioning team, with support and customization from its technical operations engineers, the companies say.

The company's most recent quarterly bookings include 15 of the Fortune 500, 20 of the Forbes Global 2000 and 10 U.S. and foreign government agencies, Fidelis asserts. The company will use the funding to expand its 24x7 managed detection and response (MDR) service.

Kaseya acquired RapidFire Tools earlier this month.
