Nexusguard and Cellcard Join Forces to Strengthen Cambodia’s Cybersecurity Landscape

Phnom Penh, Cambodia – 29 April 2025 – In a strategic move to reinforce Cambodia's digital defences, Nexusguard, a leading global DDoS security solution provider, has partnered with Cellcard, Cambodia’s pioneering and only homegrown digital telecommunications provider. This collaboration introduces enterprise-grade DDoS protection services tailored to the needs of Cambodia’s critical sectors, including financial institutions and government agencies.

‍

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, Cambodian organisations are increasingly targeted by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks — malicious attempts to disrupt websites, applications, and networks. This partnership combines Nexusguard’s global expertise in cyber threat mitigation with Cellcard’s powerful local infrastructure, delivering a robust and comprehensive protection solution.

‍

What truly sets this solution apart is Cellcard’s operation of its own DDoS scrubbing centre within Cambodia — a strategic advantage that enables enterprises to benefit from true hybrid DDoS protection. By combining local scrubbing capabilities with Nexusguard’s global cloud infrastructure, the solution delivers optimised performance, reduced latency, and enhanced security, precisely tailored to the needs of the Cambodian market. Working in tandem with Nexusguard’s global 3Tbps scrubbing network, the centre provides the immediacy and control of on-premise defence, directly within the customer’s network, while seamlessly scaling to the cloud to defend against larger, more complex attacks. Nexusguard has successfully implemented similar hybrid models with partners in other regions, and the Cambodian deployment marks a significant milestone in this international strategy.

‍

“Cyber threats are evolving rapidly across the region,” said Andy Ng, CEO of Nexusguard. “Our goal is to help Cambodian organisations stay resilient with world-class DDoS protection. This collaboration with Cellcard is a crucial step in strengthening Cambodia’s cybersecurity infrastructure and expanding Nexusguard’s footprint in Southeast Asia — a region where digital defence is more critical than ever.”

Through this partnership, Cambodian banks, telcos, enterprises, and public institutions can now access a fully managed, multi-layered DDoS protection platform. This end-to-end solution safeguards the entire threat surface — from network and DNS to websites and applications — with 24/7 monitoring, automated detection, and rapid response backed by stringent SLAs.

‍

“This partnership underscores our commitment to innovation and the digital resilience of our nation,” said Mr Chea Tola, Chief Enterprise Segment Officer at Cellcard. “By integrating Nexusguard’s globally proven technologies with our local scrubbing capabilities, we are delivering an unmatched level of protection and peace of mind to our customers.”

‍

The launch of these advanced services aligns with Cambodia’s digital transformation agenda and growing emphasis on national cybersecurity readiness, while also supporting broader regional initiatives to promote public-private collaboration against large-scale cyber threats.

‍

To highlight the importance of cybersecurity in the region, Nexusguard is proud to support a major event on 29 April 2025 at Morgan Tower in Phnom Penh. The event will convene over 150 key stakeholders — including government officials, tech leaders, and both national and international cybersecurity experts — to explore collaborative strategies for fortifying Cambodia’s national digital defences.
