Cisco On-Demand Cloud DDoS 8 Additional Annual Diversions SMS-1K — RD-CD-8AD-SMS-1K

Prepare for unpredictable attack patterns with additional on-demand diversion capacity from Cisco. On-Demand Cloud DDoS - 8 Additional Annual Diversions SMS-1K is intended for organizations that already rely on cloud mitigation and need more annual response events to handle repeated or seasonal attack pressure. This licensing option helps security and infrastructure teams extend their DDoS response plan without changing the underlying protection architecture. Instead of buying excess capacity that may never be used, you add a defined number of annual diversions that can be activated when incidents demand it. That makes planning easier for environments with variable exposure, campaign-driven attacks, or multiple protected properties. The SMS-1K licensing format supports straightforward procurement and renewal management, while the annual diversion model gives operational teams a clearer way to match protection to real-world risk. It is especially useful when a single incident is not the concern — the concern is the pattern of repeated events across the year. For enterprises comparing this to lower-tier options, the value is in response readiness. You are not just buying more license volume; you are buying more opportunities to move attack traffic out of the path of production services when availability is on the line.
