Cisco On-Demand Cloud DDoS 4 Additional Annual Diversions SMS-1K | Cloud Licensing — RD-CD-4AD-SMS-1K

Increase response headroom for distributed denial-of-service incidents with this Cisco on-demand cloud DDoS licensing add-on. It adds 4 additional annual diversions to an existing SMS-1K entitlement, giving security and network teams more room to handle repeated attack activity across the year. This type of expansion is valuable when a single diversion allowance is not enough for the realities of internet-facing infrastructure. Instead of forcing a rushed upgrade after an incident, the add-on extends your mitigation capacity in advance, helping you keep critical services reachable while preserving operational control. For organizations that depend on predictable availability, the value is in continuity. Additional diversions can reduce the risk of exhausting response coverage during a period of elevated threat activity, especially when multiple applications, regions, or business units share the same protection plan. Because this is a Cisco cloud licensing item, it fits procurement workflows that require clear entitlement tracking and straightforward renewal planning. It is a practical way to scale DDoS response coverage without changing the underlying protection architecture.
