Cisco DefensePro X40 10G Software License | DDoS Protection, Enterprise — RD-DPX40-10G

Maintain service availability when attack traffic targets your network edge. Cisco DefensePro X40 - 10G Software License is built for organizations that need DDoS protection aligned to a 10G deployment profile. It supports security teams that must keep critical applications reachable while filtering hostile traffic before it disrupts users, customers, or downstream infrastructure. This software license is suited to environments where uptime matters more than tolerance for noise. It helps define the entitlement for DefensePro X40 capacity at 10G, making it easier to match protection to the traffic profile you actually run. That matters in enterprise and service-provider networks where overbuying capacity wastes budget and underprovisioning leaves gaps during an attack. For teams standardizing on Cisco security infrastructure, this license provides a clear path to deploy and maintain the right protection tier without changing the operational model around it. The result is tighter alignment between risk, performance, and procurement. When the cost of downtime is measured in revenue, support calls, and executive attention, the right license tier is part of the control plane.
