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

Maintain service availability when attack traffic targets your internet edge. Cisco 1G Always-On Cloud DDoS Service Fixed SMS-1000 delivers always-on cloud mitigation for environments that need continuous protection at a defined 1 Gbps service level. It is designed for organizations that cannot afford the delay of reactive scrubbing or the operational burden of managing dedicated mitigation hardware. This service fits security teams that want a clear, fixed protection profile for a specific bandwidth tier. By moving DDoS defense into the cloud, you reduce pressure on local infrastructure while preserving access to critical applications, portals, and external services during attack conditions. The fixed SMS-1000 designation helps standardize procurement and deployment around a known service scope, which is valuable for enterprise teams managing repeatable security controls across sites or business units. For buyers comparing lower-cost point solutions, the value here is continuity. Always-on protection is built for sustained exposure, not just emergency response. That makes it a strong fit for organizations with public-facing workloads, regulated uptime requirements, or a need to defend internet connectivity without introducing another appliance lifecycle to support.
