Cisco Secure Cloud DDoS Hybrid Always-On Protection | Enterprise Licensing — E2SF-CD-HAO

Keep customer-facing services online when attack traffic spikes. SEC EA Choice Secure Cloud DDoS Hybrid Always-On Protection is a Cisco licensing offering built for organizations that need continuous DDoS defense rather than reactive cleanup after an outage begins. The value is in persistence. Always-on protection helps absorb and filter malicious traffic before it reaches critical infrastructure, which is especially important for environments where downtime affects revenue, operations, or customer trust. A hybrid model also fits teams that need cloud-based mitigation aligned with broader enterprise security controls. For infrastructure leaders, this type of licensing is about more than buying protection. It is about securing a predictable path to service continuity, reducing the operational burden of attack response, and supporting a more disciplined security posture across distributed environments. The result is a cleaner fit for enterprises that cannot afford to wait for mitigation to start after an incident is already underway.
