Cisco DDOS-CAO-LIC Secure Cloud DDoS Always-On Protection | Cloud Security — DDOS-CAO-LIC

Protect internet-facing services with always-on DDoS mitigation delivered through Cisco Secure Cloud. This licensing model is designed to keep attack traffic away from critical applications before it can consume bandwidth, disrupt availability, or force emergency response. For infrastructure and security teams, the value is continuous coverage. Always-on protection reduces the gap between attack detection and mitigation, which matters when service availability is tied to customer experience, revenue, or operational continuity. Cloud delivery also helps avoid the overhead of deploying and maintaining dedicated mitigation hardware at every site. This license is a strong fit for organizations that need persistent protection for public-facing applications, remote access services, and distributed environments. It supports a cleaner security posture by keeping DDoS defense active around the clock, rather than waiting for manual intervention or reactive escalation. For teams accountable for uptime, this is the kind of control that justifies the investment.
