Cisco DefensePro X90-40HP License Fixed SMS-1K | DDoS Protection — DPX90-40HP-SMS-1K

Keep critical services reachable when attack traffic spikes. Cisco DefensePro X90-40HP License Fixed SMS-1K provides fixed licensing for DefensePro deployments that need controlled entitlement and sustained DDoS mitigation coverage. It is designed for teams protecting business-facing applications, remote access services, and network edges where downtime is not an option. This license supports a disciplined procurement model for organizations standardizing on Cisco security infrastructure. Fixed SMS-1K licensing helps align deployment scope with operational planning, while DefensePro’s mitigation framework is intended to reduce the impact of floods, protocol abuse, and other traffic anomalies that can exhaust network resources. For infrastructure teams, the value is in consistency: clear licensing, predictable coverage, and a fit for environments where security controls must scale without adding ambiguity to the stack. It is a practical choice when the cost of interruption far exceeds the cost of protection.
