Cisco adds Cloud DDoS Protection to Enterprise Agreement, Expanding Strategic Partnership with Radware
With distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continually increasing in frequency and complexity, organizations must ensure the resilience and availability of their networks and applications to enable business productivity, protect online revenues and meet SLAs for uptime.
Secure Cloud DDoS Protection Now Available on Cisco Enterprise Agreement
Radware and Cisco have expanded their partnership with an announcement that is good news for Cisco’s customers and bad news for DDoS threat actors. Cisco, the worldwide leader in technology that powers the internet, has added Cisco® Secure Cloud DDoS Protection, powered by Radware, to the Cisco Enterprise Agreement (EA). The addition of cloud DDoS protection to the EA simplifies the purchasing and licensing of Secure Cloud DDoS Protection for Cisco customers.

Effective DDoS Protection for An Evolving Threat Landscape
Modern DDoS attacks are sophisticated and damaging, often using multi-vector attacks, encrypted attacks and IoT botnets to target network and application resources with devastating DDoS floods. Additionally, we’ve entered the era of terabit, volumetric flood attacks that can exceed 2Tbps, which is more than enough traffic to overwhelm any unprotected network. Given the risks posed by today’s DDoS attacks, organizations must ensure that they have best-in-class DDoS protection to maintain service availability under attack.
Deployment Options for Every Customer Need
Cisco Secure DDoS Protection is a portfolio of DDoS protection solutions that offers deployment options to meet the needs and budget of every customer.
- On-premises DDoS protection provides real-time, adaptive attack protection. On-premise DDoS protection is available either as an appliance or integrated with Cisco Secure Firewall 4100 and 9300 series.
- Cloud always-on protection is a real-time, cloud-based protection solution for organizations at high risk of attacks or are sensitive to network and application downtime.
- Cloud on-demand is a great deployment option for customers looking for volumetric attack protection with the ability to completely offload attacks from their premise.
- Hybrid DDoS protection is the most robust, comprehensive DDoS protection solution, protecting against real-time zero-day network, application and volumetric attacks.
Massive Global Scrubbing Capacity
Cisco Secure DDoS Protection is backed by 19 strategically-located global scrubbing centers where traffic is analyzed and scrubbed, allowing cleaned traffic to be returned to the customer’s network.
The widely dispersed geographic locations ensure that DDoS attacks are mitigated closest to their point of origin. Collectively, these scrubbing centers provide 12Tbps of mitigation capacity and are fully meshed, providing DDoS mitigation capacity for handling today’s largest volumetric attacks.
Industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
When organizations require availability, SLAs matter. Unlike many other DDoS solutions on the market, Cisco Secure DDoS Protection is not based on best-effort SLAs. Secure DDoS Protection’s advanced behavioral algorithms, real-time signature generation and industry-leading 24×7 support and mitigation services allow Secure DDoS Protection to offer industry-leading SLAs for service availability, mitigation consistency, time to detect, time to mitigate, time to divert and time to alert.
