Cisco 16G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service Fixed SMS-1000 | DDoS Protection — RD-CAO-16G-SMS-1K

Sustain service availability when volumetric attacks target your network edge. Cisco 16G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service Fixed SMS-1000 provides always-on cloud-based mitigation for environments that need continuous protection rather than reactive cleanup. It is designed to absorb malicious traffic before it reaches critical infrastructure, helping preserve uptime for public-facing applications, remote access services, and customer portals. This service fits organizations that cannot afford the delay of manual escalation during an attack. By keeping mitigation active, it reduces the operational burden on security teams and helps maintain a predictable response posture when traffic spikes threaten service continuity. The fixed SMS-1000 designation aligns the service to a defined protection tier, making it easier to standardize procurement and match coverage to risk. For enterprises with exposed internet services, the value is not just blocking traffic. It is maintaining trust, protecting revenue streams, and avoiding the downstream cost of outage response. Cisco’s cloud delivery model supports a cleaner separation between attack traffic and production systems, which is especially important for teams defending high-visibility services where every minute of disruption matters.
