Cisco 40G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service 1Y | DDoS Protection, Cloud — L-RD-CAO-40G-1Y

Keep critical services reachable when attack traffic spikes. Cisco 40G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service delivers continuous cloud-based mitigation for environments that need protection without waiting for manual activation. Sized for 40 Gbps coverage, it is built for organizations that cannot afford downtime on public-facing applications, DNS, VPN, or other exposed services. This 1-year service fits teams that want persistent defense rather than reactive cleanup. Always-on coverage helps reduce the operational burden of attack response, while cloud delivery keeps mitigation outside the local network path. That matters when the goal is to preserve availability under pressure and avoid forcing internal teams to absorb traffic floods at the edge. For enterprises with a meaningful attack surface, the value is in consistency: protection stays active, response is immediate, and service continuity is easier to defend in front of business stakeholders. Cisco’s service model is designed for organizations that need a clear line between normal traffic and malicious volume, with coverage aligned to high-throughput environments.
