Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DDoS attack?
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the 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 make your services unavailable to legitimate users.
How does the Cisco Always-On Cloud DDoS Service work?
The service acts as a protective shield, routing your internet traffic through Cisco's scrubbing centers. These centers analyze traffic in real-time, identify malicious packets associated with a DDoS attack, and remove them before forwarding clean traffic to your network.
Is this service suitable for small businesses?
Yes, this service is designed for SMB and mid-market companies. It provides enterprise-level protection without the complexity or cost of managing your own dedicated DDoS mitigation infrastructure.
