Cisco DefensePro X20-5G License Fixed SMS-1K | DDoS Protection — DPX20-5G-SMS-1K

Keep DefensePro X20-5G deployments aligned to the capacity you planned for with a fixed SMS-1K license. This entitlement is built for organizations that want clear licensing boundaries, stable operational planning, and straightforward procurement for security infrastructure. For teams managing distributed services, license clarity matters as much as detection performance. A fixed license model helps reduce ambiguity during renewals, simplifies asset tracking, and supports consistent budgeting across security programs. That makes it easier to maintain protection without introducing unnecessary procurement overhead. Cisco DefensePro licensing is typically selected when security teams need to preserve service continuity and keep deployment economics predictable. The SMS-1K designation indicates a defined entitlement tier, which is useful when standardizing on a known capacity profile rather than overbuying for uncertain growth. Choose this license when you need a clean fit for an existing Cisco DefensePro X20-5G environment and want procurement aligned to the exact deployment requirement.
