Cisco 8G Always-On Cloud DDoS Service 3Y | Cloud Protection — L-RD-CAO-8G-3Y

Maintain service availability during DDoS events with Cisco 8G Always-on Cloud DDoS Service, delivered as a 3-year subscription. This service is designed for teams that need continuous cloud-based mitigation capacity rather than reactive protection that only activates after an incident begins. With always-on coverage, attack traffic can be absorbed and filtered in the cloud before it creates pressure on downstream infrastructure. That matters when uptime is tied to customer access, transaction flow, or public-facing application availability. The 8G service tier gives procurement and security teams a clear capacity target for planning around sustained attack conditions. For enterprises that cannot afford service interruption, this model offers a practical balance of protection, predictability, and operational simplicity. It is especially relevant where the cost of downtime exceeds the cost of continuous mitigation and where a fixed-term subscription aligns with budget and renewal planning.
