Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection 3-Year Term

Defend critical edge services against DDoS disruption with Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection in a 3-year off-box term. This licensing model is designed for organizations that want to place protection outside the service path, keeping the protected environment focused on availability while security controls operate from a separate deployment point. For enterprise infrastructure teams, off-box protection can simplify architecture decisions where edge performance, service continuity, and attack mitigation all matter. The 3-year term gives procurement and security leaders a clear planning horizon, reducing annual renewal overhead while supporting longer budget cycles and standardized coverage. Cisco’s approach is well suited to environments where public-facing applications, internet gateways, or distributed edge services need consistent DDoS defense without introducing extra load into the protected system. It is a practical fit for teams that value predictable licensing, vendor continuity, and a security posture that scales with operational demands.
