Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DDoS attack?
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of internet traffic. This can lead to service unavailability for legitimate users.
How does Cisco's Cloud DDoS Protection Service work?
This service automatically detects anomalous traffic patterns indicative of a DDoS attack. It then redirects malicious traffic away from your network and scrubs it clean, allowing legitimate traffic to pass through to your services.
What is the '1G' in the service name?
The '1G' refers to the service's capacity to protect against volumetric attacks up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) of malicious traffic. This is a common metric for measuring the scale of such attacks.
