Cisco IPsec Network Domain Security (NDS) | VPN Security, Licensing — ASR5K-00-EPNDS-K9=

Strengthen IPsec protection where traffic volume and policy consistency matter most. Cisco IPsec Network Domain Security (NDS) adds licensing for domain-level security capabilities on supported ASR 5000 platforms, helping service providers and large enterprises enforce VPN policy with tighter control. Built for environments that carry sensitive traffic across distributed infrastructure, this license supports a more disciplined approach to IPsec deployment. It is suited to teams that need to segment security domains, maintain operational consistency, and protect encrypted sessions without changing the underlying platform architecture. For organizations running critical network services, the value is in precision: security controls that fit carrier-grade operations, licensing that aligns with platform requirements, and a deployment model designed for scale. When access policy, encrypted transport, and service continuity all matter, NDS helps keep the security layer aligned with the network it protects.
