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. When an attack is detected, traffic is rerouted through Cisco's scrubbing centers, where malicious traffic is filtered out, and legitimate traffic is forwarded to your network, ensuring continuous availability.
Who is this service intended for?
This service is designed for businesses of all sizes, particularly SMB and mid-market companies, that rely on their online services and need robust, always-on protection against DDoS attacks without the complexity of managing on-premises solutions.
