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 render websites and online services inaccessible to legitimate users.
How does the Cisco Always-On Cloud DDoS Service work?
This service acts as a cloud-based shield. When a DDoS attack is detected, traffic is rerouted to Cisco's scrubbing centers, where malicious traffic is filtered out, and clean traffic is forwarded to your network. The service operates automatically 24/7.
Who is this service intended for?
This service is designed for businesses of all sizes, particularly SMBs and mid-market companies, that rely on internet-facing applications and services. It's for organizations that need robust protection without the complexity and cost of managing their own DDoS mitigation infrastructure.
