Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection 5-Year Term

Keep critical services reachable when volumetric and application-layer attacks target your network edge. Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection for off-box deployment gives infrastructure teams a longer-term licensing option for defending availability without forcing a hardware refresh cycle. It is designed for organizations that need consistent protection planning across multi-year security and procurement horizons. This 5-year term is well suited to enterprises that want to standardize DDoS defense as part of a broader Cisco security architecture. Off-box deployment supports designs where mitigation is handled outside the protected traffic path, helping teams preserve service continuity while maintaining operational control. For environments where uptime directly affects revenue, customer trust, and internal productivity, the value is in reducing exposure to disruption over a defined multi-year term. Choose this option when you need predictable coverage, cleaner budget planning, and a licensing model that matches the lifecycle of your infrastructure program. It is a practical fit for teams consolidating security spend around trusted Cisco controls and extending protection across business-critical services.
