Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection 5-Year Term for ASR9000 | Security — A9K-EP-L-5Y

Keep ASR 9000 edge deployments protected with a Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection term license built for multi-year security planning. This 5-year entitlement is designed for teams that need consistent defense against volumetric and protocol-based attack pressure while maintaining a clean procurement model for critical network infrastructure. For service-provider and enterprise edge environments, DDoS protection is not optional. It is part of preserving availability, protecting customer traffic, and reducing the operational cost of attack response. A 5-year term helps security and procurement teams lock in coverage over a meaningful planning horizon, avoiding short renewal cycles and giving the organization a more predictable path for ongoing protection. This license is a strong fit where the edge carries business-critical traffic and downtime has immediate impact. It supports a disciplined security posture for Cisco ASR 9000 platforms, helping teams keep mitigation coverage in place while they focus on network performance, service continuity, and risk reduction.
