Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection OB-EP-XS-3Y 3-Year Term

Keep critical services reachable when attack traffic spikes. Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection for off-box deployment gives security and infrastructure teams a 3-year licensing term designed to help absorb and mitigate distributed denial-of-service pressure at the edge. It is built for environments where uptime matters more than traffic noise, helping preserve access to customer-facing applications, remote access services, and public endpoints. Off-box delivery fits architectures that need protection without tying defense to a single local appliance footprint. That makes it a practical choice for organizations standardizing on Cisco security services while maintaining flexibility in how protection is deployed and managed. The 3-year term also supports longer planning cycles, reducing renewal churn and aligning with enterprise procurement windows. For teams responsible for availability, this license is about more than blocking traffic. It is about keeping legitimate users connected, protecting service reputation, and limiting the operational cost of attack response. Compared with shorter terms or point solutions, this option is better suited to organizations that want sustained coverage and predictable licensing over multiple budget cycles.
