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?
This service uses Cisco's global network infrastructure to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks in real-time. When an attack is detected, traffic is rerouted to Cisco's scrubbing centers where malicious traffic is filtered out before clean traffic is forwarded to your network.
