Cisco 500M Always-on Cloud DDoS Service | Fixed SMS-1000 — RD-CAO-500M-SMS-1K

Maintain continuous protection for services that cannot afford exposure windows. Cisco 500M Always-on Cloud DDoS Service Fixed SMS-1000 is built for organizations that need persistent mitigation rather than event-only coverage. With 500 Mbps of always-on cloud protection, it helps filter malicious traffic before it can disrupt customer access, overload network paths, or force emergency response. This service is well suited to teams that value predictable security operations. Fixed SMS-1000 provides a clear licensing structure, making it easier to standardize protection across a defined service footprint. For infrastructure leaders, that means less uncertainty in planning and fewer gaps between threat detection and mitigation. For procurement, it creates a stable service profile that is easier to budget and renew. Always-on delivery matters when attack traffic is constant, low-and-slow, or mixed with legitimate usage patterns. Cisco’s cloud model keeps mitigation active without relying on a manual trigger, which helps reduce response time and preserve availability for customer portals, SaaS front ends, and other public services. It is a practical choice when uptime is part of the product experience, not just an internal metric.
