Cisco ASR 9000 MACsec 10G Right to Use License | Enterprise Security — CON-ECMU-SA9MAECS

Secure high-value traffic on Cisco ASR 9000 infrastructure with a MACsec 10G right-to-use license. This entitlement is built for environments where link-layer encryption must be added without replacing hardware or re-architecting the network. It helps protect data in transit across trusted transport segments, supporting compliance-driven deployments and security-conscious WAN or aggregation designs. For infrastructure teams, the value is in preserving the operational model already in place. MACsec licensing lets you activate encryption capabilities on supported ASR 9000 systems while maintaining the performance profile and scale expected from carrier-grade routing platforms. That makes it a practical choice for organizations that need stronger protection for sensitive traffic, but cannot afford the complexity of overlay-only approaches or external encryption appliances. This license is well suited to service provider cores, enterprise edge networks, and regulated environments where traffic confidentiality matters at the link layer. It is also a strong fit when procurement needs a software entitlement that extends platform capability rather than adding another box to support. The result is tighter security, cleaner architecture, and a more defensible investment in the Cisco routing stack already deployed.
