Cisco 40G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service - 5Y | DDoS Protection, 40G — L-RD-CAO-40G-5Y

Sustain service availability when attack traffic spikes with Cisco 40G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service - 5Y. This cloud-delivered protection model is designed for organizations that need continuous mitigation rather than reactive cleanup after an incident. By keeping DDoS defense always on, it helps reduce exposure windows, preserve application reachability, and limit the strain on network and security operations teams. The 40G service tier is suited to environments where uptime matters across internet-facing applications, customer portals, and critical digital services. Instead of waiting for a diversion event to trigger protection, always-on coverage keeps mitigation active so malicious traffic can be addressed as it appears. That approach is especially valuable for teams protecting revenue-generating services, public endpoints, and infrastructure that cannot tolerate interruption. A 5-year subscription supports longer planning cycles, simplifies budgeting, and aligns protection with multi-year security roadmaps. For enterprises standardizing on Cisco security services, this package offers a clear path to sustained DDoS defense without adding on-premises mitigation hardware to maintain. It is a practical choice when the cost of downtime, incident response, and service degradation exceeds the premium of continuous cloud protection.
